LEAF: the tipsy turkey thanksgiving cocktail

Thanksgiving is around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! While others clamor to prepare turkey (tofurky!) and all the fixings for their annual feast, I like to prepare something a little more…festive.

Enter our newest LEAF video: The Tipsy Turkey Cocktail.

Steamed pumpkin? Check! Cinnamon & spice? Check! Maple syrup? Check!

Watch the video to see this amazing recipe (it’s got Turkey in the title for godsakes!) and learn how to add a different twist to your cocktail festivities this year.

How to: The Tipsy Turkey Thanksgiving Cocktail

You will need:
1 part Kanon Vodka
1 part bourbon
¾ part maple syrup
¾ part lemon juice
4 cubes roasted pumpkin

1. Cut a small (3-4 lb) firm sugar pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds with a metal spoon.

2. Fill a biking dish with 1/4 inch water, lay pumpkin face down in water and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes, until tender. Cut into cubes.

3. Muddle 4 pumpkin cubes with 3/4 part maple syrup, add all other ingredients and shake vigorously.

4. Strain (double strain with sieve, if possible) onto fresh ice in a rocks glass.

5. Garnish with a pinch of cinnamon.

Enjoy!

LEAF: how to knit

Years ago my grandma gave me knitting lessons and it was one of the best gifts I've ever received.

With the economy in the toilet and the holidays right around the corner, I thought it was the perfect time to pass on what she taught me and debut the original gift DIY: a warm and cozy scarf.

So go grab some needles and your favorite ball of yarn, watch our newest LEAF video...and get your knit on!
