From Rachel's Kitchen: Pecan Pie Martini

It's snowing outside (again)

and so I think that calls for a boozy cocktail

dripping in coziness. 

I bought a sample sized bottle of Pecan Pie vodka

back around the holidays

and I've been waiting for the perfect 

opportunity to whip it up into

something delicious! 

I think a cold, snowy night

calls for a Pecan Pie martini...

Don't you!?

Either way, Godiva and I

vote yes.

You've been outnumbered.
