Sparkling Caramel Apple Cocktail!

 

This is the perfect holiday cocktail. I am not generally fond of liqueur( I prefer a glass of wine) but this is delish!  This drink is very simple to make and only requires two ingredients. It would be cute as a signature drink at a birthday party or great for Christmas/New Years Eve. All you need to make this is Martinelli's sparkling apple cider and Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka. I chilled the bottles beforehand.  I used 2 parts of sparkling cider to one part vodka. It's as simple as that!         

 FYI- I had all intentions of making a cute apple garnish to go along with this, but Marc a certain husband consumes an excessive amount of apples.  Although I thought I bought extra...  Clearly I should have hidden one, so we will have to settle for this straw.  lol Maybe next time. A caramel candy would work great too.

Enjoy!

Perfect Pumpkin Cake!

Perfect Pumpkin Cake!

Swirled with cheesecake!

This is the Best Pumpkin cake recipe! Nothing says Fall like the scent that fills your home when you bake with pumpkin! This recipe is from my mom so I don't really know where it came from.  I made the addition of the cheesecake swirled throughout because I am obsessed♥ with cheesecake and I think it really completes the cake.  I like to serve this to the boys for a special breakfast.  It is the only cake that they don't demand icing with and that's kind of a big deal around here.
