It’s almost the weekend. Even with today being the ominous Friday the 13^th you can still look forward to celebrate the mathematical holiday known as Pi Day tomorrow Saturday, March 14. What is even cooler is that this year’s only comes once every 100 years with more numbers of the irrational sequence replicated this year than others (3.1415).

That calls for a celebration! Why not try these “Pie” inspired cocktails from Piehole Whiskey? So while you are enjoying these cocktails responsibly challenge your friends to see how many numbers that they can recite in regards to the number Pi.  Here are few digits to help get you started. 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286

The good folks as PIEHOLE Whiskey challenged me to make up a new cocktail. I would have to use one of their three flavored whiskeys and two of the following ingredients, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, marshmallows, pumpkin, whipped cream, walnuts, raisins, and apple cider. This was my first time getting to taste these whiskeys and they were all fantastic.

For those who don’t know the PIEHOLE’s three varieties of whiskey are cherry pie, apple pie, and pecan pie. For the challenge I went with the cherry pie flavor whiskey. When I looked over the list of the different ingredients I immediately knew that I was going to go for a fruity concoction. So with that in mind I was looking to use cranberry sauce and apple cider.

Along with the cherry pie whiskey, cranberry sauce, and apple cider I also used ginger ale, cranberry juice, and a lime. I call this drink “Wicked Fruit Punch.” Below is the ingredient list as well as the directions you can follow to my cocktail. Plus I added some other recipes that you should try as well. Just make sure you try mine first!

Cheers and enjoy responsibly.

Next pour the PIEHOLE Cherry Whiskey, ginger ale, apple cider, and cranberry juice in another cup. Add some ice and shake up those ingredients. Pour that mixture into the old-fashioned glass with the cranberry sauce on the bottom. Add a lime wedge on the lip of the glass and circle it around the entire glass. Enjoy!
