Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!!  If you still haven’t decided on a special cocktail to serve before dinner- here is s thought. Apple raspberry Pie Martini. This is just what the doctor ordered. For me anyways. A Cocktail that tastes like pie = happiness.

Apple Raspberry Pie Martini

I added the raspberries because my mom used to make the most amazing apple and pear pies studded with raspberries, and I always loved that combination. You have the tart apple and the sweet raspberry, and both of them are evened out with alittle acid from a lemon. Combine all of that goodness with a cinnamon sugar rim and cold vodka, and well, you have pie flavored booze. It’s a good thing.

I know it’s a little frilly for every day drinking, but I think it would be so beautiful for a dinner party or even Thanksgiving . In the meantime- Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy ☺
