Pumpkin Vanilla Cocktail with Spiced Sugar Rim

As I mentioned the other day, vanilla is one of my favorite flavors. And everyone knows that fall is all about the pumpkin. These two ingredients play very nicely together. Especially when you’re talking about an adult beverage to be enjoyed on a crisp cool evening.

I started making this drink for friends a couple weekends ago and we’ve been enjoying it together ever since then. The vanilla vodka provides a subtle warmth and what really makes this drink special is the spiced sugar rim.

I found that I take just enough sips to work my way around the glass so that I have a bit of the cinnamony sugar with every sip of the cocktail. Definitely don’t skip that important step when making this drink!

Oh my goodness – these sound fabulous! I made some delicious caramel-pecan bars, and I can just imagine how nice a pumpkin layer would be too!

Happy Thanksgiving!
