I admit, it was a bit quiet here on my blog. At the moment I am less concerned with new recipes than with the re-launch of my blog. I am changing the design minimally so that it is hopefully even more appealing for you. Unfortunately, I have to re-enter all recipes for it. Still, I have to share my delicious Pumpkin Spiced Martini with you. Actually, I’m more of a fan of good wines or classic long drinks. Normally I would not be the one who orders a cocktail at a bar. For my Pumpkin Spiced Martini with homemade Pumpkin Spiced Vodka I make an exception.
You already know my taste for pumpkin recipes, hopefully you have tried one or the other. As I could see, my Pumpkin Buckwheat Porridge and my Pumpkin Almond Milk with Pumpkin Spice were a big hit with you. The pumpkin almond milk is also used in this Pumpkin Spiced Martini. You could say it is the adult version of this delicious drink. Where the Pumpkin Spiced Vodka alone is already very delicious. On a girls’ evening, this recipe was tested and loved.
Before making the Pumpkin Spiced Martini, I made a Pumpkin Spiced Vodka. That’s easy and really tasty. The Pumpkin Spiced Vodka certainly offers many more options.
We had so much fun that our energy was enough even for a later singing engagement in the Thai Oase. The Thai Oase is a Hamburg institution. The name could lead to misunderstandings, so in short, it’s a Karaoke bar. Should you be in Hamburg, I can only recommend the visit. There you experience Hamburg at its beat. From the bachelor party, over the remains of a Christmas party, a fun girl’s night you experience everything there. There are tourists but also many Hamburg locals spending their time. Sometimes you may also experience Hamburg top athletes or celebrity chefs sing a song there.
In North America, many manufacturers now offer Pumpkin Spiced Vodka for sale. Unfortunately could not find one here in Germany. Luckily, the Pumpkin Spiced Vodka is very easy to make yourself.
