Pumpkin Cinnamon Vodka

Its been one week since my attempt at infusing my cinnamon-infused vodka with pumpkin. Which can only mean one thing- taste test time! Some notes:

Color-wise, the vodka doesn't appear as bright as it did when it was only infused with cinnamon. You probably can't see from the picture, either, but there are little bits of pumpkin floating in the liquid- when served, the vodka will definitely need to be strained. As for smell, the drink is still as cinnamon-y as ever.


Now, on to the taste test- I am pleasantly surprised! Cinnamon is still the main taste you notice, but the pumpkin has definitely mellowed it out. While I am not sure I can taste the pumpkin per se, the vodka does have more depth of flavor. Its actually pretty tasty just to sip.

So my conclusion? Since I am testing two bottles, I plan to let one sit another week. Meanwhile, I'm going to try a few recipes with the second bottle. Stay tuned for some drink recipes involving cinnamon pumpkin vodka!
