Thanksgiving Cider

The overall effect is something like a spiced apple pie, but with that lingering mellow note that's hard to identify - the pumpkin.  The sweetness is cut by the spice and tartness, making it an enjoyable drink to relax with.

Recipe:

1 part Pinnacle® Pumpkin Vodka
3 parts apple cider
Splash of club soda

Fill a highball glass with ice and build the ingredients in order. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
