Festive Fall Cocktails for your wedding (part 2)
Updated: May 5, 2020
As promised, we are back with the part 2 of the savory fall drinks that we love from Martha Stewart Weddings and The Knot!
Vanilla Pear Cocktail– The Knot

Ingredients:
Pear-flavored vodka (we like Absolut Pears)
Pear juice
Vanilla bean
Ice
La Croix Peach-Pear flavored sparkling water
Directions:
To make one drink, pour a single shot of the vodka into a shaker, and mix it with a half cup of pear juice.
Place the vanilla bean on a hard surface like a cutting board, and using a paring knife, slice the vanilla bean lengthwise. Then, using the knife (or even a spoon), scrape the seeds out of the inside of the vanilla bean and into the juice mixture. Shake everything to combine.
Pour over ice into a highball glass. Top everything off by adding a splash of the flavored sparkling water to your cocktail. Now just add a straw and enjoy!
Pumpkin White Russian- The Knot

Pumpkin-flavored vodka (try Crop Organic Spiced Pumpkin)
Kahlua
Pumpkin pie spice
Ice
Heavy cream
Directions:
Add 4 ounces of the pumpkin-flavored vodka to a tumbler along with 2 ounces of Kahlua and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Shake to combine.
Add a handful of ice to a lowball glass and pour in the drink mixture, filling the glass halfway. Finish the cocktail by filling the rest of the glass with heavy cream. Now just stir and serve!
