Seasonal Sips

Of all the seasons, Fall is definitely my favorite: the changing colors of leaves, cozy sweaters, football on Sundays, comforting flavors like pumpkin, cinnamon, and butternut squash - what's not to love? And when it comes to cocktails, the season offers plenty of inspiration. Here are two to shake up over the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend.

GREY GOOSE® Pumpkin Divine

1 part GREY GOOSE Vodka

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add all ingredients. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted and beaded with sweat. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with nutmeg and apple chip.
