3-2-1 Thanksgiving Libation

The family and I are spending the holiday week with my brother and his family out in Utah.  There are a couple things about Utah you should know.  The first thing is Utah has the corner on large indoor family attractions that double as retail outlets.  Seriously, my girls went on a full size Ferris wheel while I shopped for Broncos gear.  They also have gigantic aquariums and restaurants inside next to giant stuffed dead game on display.

The second thing you need to know is you can only buy liquor and any beer over 3.4% alcohol at a State run liquor store. It can be quite a hassle, the local store is not large and doesn't have every kind of alcohol you might be looking for.  For instance, I wanted to make Pumpkin Pie martinis for Thanksgiving and they don't carry Pumpkin flavored Schnapps.  What is a girl to do?

With a little experimenting, I was able to come up with a perfectly good substitute for us to partake in.

3-2-1 Thanksgiving Libation

Pumpkin flavored coffee creamer
Vanilla vodka
Bailey's Irish Cream

The easiest part of this recipe is that the name is also the directions.  3 parts creamer, 2 parts vanilla vodka and 1 part Irish Cream.  Mix in a martini shaker and pour over ice.  You can decide how many people you are serving and just multiply the amount you need to create a shaker full.

Enjoy!
