We've reached the end of the road, reader. There have been triumphs and failures, but I've come out on the other side unscathed and only about a pound heavier. Somehow, I've managed to escape developing a terrible pumpkin allergy. And what better way to celebrate my last day of pumpkin gourging than Halloween.
I've hit that point on Halloween where you can actually feel your teeth buzzing with too much sugar from the candy meal you ate throughout the day. My hands are shaking as they touch the keyboard and my stomach is telling me to eat a salad twice a day until Thanksgiving. However, even that would not stop me from enjoying some of Karlis Berzins' famous Pumpkin Pie Vodka.
The process of infusing vodka itself seems like mad, magical science to me. There's sifters, a jar, what looks like a samovar. Way too much for my brain to comprehend at the end of the day, which is why I leave it too the experts. Karlis' pumpkin pie vodka was even better this year than last year. Not too sweet, it has a very strong pumpkin taste and tastes delicious over ice. I preferred to mix it with apple cider and a splash of ginger ale. I paired it with a ginger snap spread with pumpkin butter for the perfect grown-up Halloween treat. One warning, this thing is so darn delicious you may forget there's alcohol even in there. This could lead to one wicked Halloween hangover if your not careful.
