HOMEMADE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE
This three part recipe wraps a little blanket of feel good around your whole body. Good laughs, enlightening conversation and good nap to follow could all be apart of the plan.
Part One: The Pumpkin Puree
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Cut small pumpkin in half, removing all the seeds.
Add 1 tbsp of butter in the middle of each half
Top the butter with 4 tbsp of brown sugar
Wrap each pumpkin half in foil
Bake for one hour
Remove from oven and spoon out all the contents into and oven safe bowl, add 4 cups of warmed whole milk and blend into a thin puree.
Set in the oven to keep warm while you complete these next steps.
Part Two: Prepare the Coffee
Prepare 2oz shots of espresso per person. If you don’t have an espresso machine, make a pot of extra strong coffee or even better, go for french press.
Part Three: Spike & Assemble
Pour 2 oz of coffee into a tall glass
Add a one 5mg single dose of the Green Revolution Paradise Indica Tincture and stir
Then add the pumpkin puree leaving about 2 inches of room from the rim
Fill those top 2 inches with whipped cream (or add the extra mile and prepare your own homemade whip)
Garnish with fresh ground cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg, dried banana slices and a couple dried cranberries.
ODD DUCK CHOCOLATE MARTINI
This dessert beverage will be the perfect nightcap on any brisk October evening. You won’t be going anywhere for awhile if you follow these easy steps!
Prepare the Glass
Take one serving per person of Odd Duck Dark Chocolate and chop it into very fine pieces. Spread evenly over small plate.
Take a chilled martini glass and lightly dip the rim into small layer of whip cream.
Dip the whip cream coated rim into the plate of chocolate and fully coat the rim of the glass.
Set martini glass to the side
Mix it up and serve!
You’ll need the following ingredients per person:
1.5 oz Potato Vodka
1 oz Creme de Cocoa
1 oz Coffee Liqueur
½ oz Cream
Pour all the ingredients over ice and shake for 20 seconds. Then pour the mix slowly into the infused chocolate rimmed martini glass. It will be delightfully foamy. Top with homemade whipped cream and sprinkle the remainder of the chopped chocolate over the top of the drink and serve. Your first sip can promise a frothy sweet mustache to proudly be worn!
SOOTHING SPIKED CIDER
The perfect around the fire beverage, this belly warmer is a guaranteed hit! A simple recipe that is more than worth the time you put into it.
Chop 10 gala apples into quarters.
Put the apples in your crockpot and fill with water until it’s about 2 inches above the fruit.
Add ½ cup of local organic honey, 1 tbsp of cinnamon and 1 tbsp of allspice
Boil for an hour and then reduce heat to simmer for 2 more hours.
Pour contents through mesh strainer and discard the flesh of the apples keeping just the juice.
Now you have your cider and these final steps will turn every sip into a little taste of heaven.
Pour 1.5 oz of bourbon into a warmed mug.
Add a ½ dose of the CPC Sativa Tincture
Fill the glass with cider and garnish with sliced apples and a cinnamon stick.
