We all associate Fall with pumpkins. This Fall, there’s a new vodka on the market that seeks to showcase “the seasonal delight of roasted pumpkin and baking spices” – Crop’s Organic Spiced Pumpkin Vodka. With a suggested retail price of $30, it joins Crop’s lineup of Artisanal, Cucumber, Tomato and Meyer Lemon vodkas.
Mix with cola or shake with Irish cream liqueur over ice for your own take on pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Or serve in a hot toddy on a chilly day. Made following strict USDA organic standards, it’s distilled from 100 percent American grain, free of GMOs, artificial fertilizers or pesticides.
