Vegan Pumpkin Pie Martini

ppm65

Well, as it’s Christmas Eve it is almost time to bid goodbye to everything pumpkin flavored.  I will admit, it is a little bittersweet to me.  One of my favorite new pumpkin discoveries this year is this pumpkin pie martini.  It’s so decadent, you can almost skip desert entirely.

Check out the recipe below, and also find it where I originally created it here.
