Fall flavors and smells are my favorite part of the season change. I absolutely love pumpkin flavored anything. You can make any ordinary thing just fabulous with a little pumpkin.

This martini is so yummy- its like chewing on Bubblicious gum, while getting tipsy! It is also very pretty to look at. It’s definitely a girl’s drink and can be garnished perfectly for a fun ladies’ cocktail party.

Ingredients:

2 ounces Three Olives brand bubblegum vodka
1 ounce peach schnapps
2 ounce pineapple juice
splash of grenadine

Directions: Put 5 cubes of ice in shaker and add all ingredients and shake well! Rim glass with pink sugar. Garnish will cute gum balls, gummy bears, or maraschino cherries!

**You can also make your OWN bubblegum vodka by getting your favorite brand of vodka and letting about 5 pieces of bubblegum (ie. double bubble) sit in the vodka overnight.**
