Author Notes
I won't ask you to hold off on eating that last slice of pecan pie, but if for some wild reason you end up with an overload of leftovers, shake up a batch or two of this Pecan Pie Bourbon Milk Punch.
Milk punch is a cocktail made with a spirit (traditionally bourbon or brandy), milk, sugar, and vanilla. Steeping a piece of leftover pecan pie in cold milk brings in a new dimension of fall flavors, with vibrant echoes of maple syrup, caramelized pecans, and warm autumn spices in every sip. Coupled with the soft thrill of orange blossom water and the fragrance of fresh nutmeg, this pecan pie milk punch is so enthralling you might just decide bake an entire pie for the cause. —Chase the Flavors
