5 Yummy Drinks Made With PIEHOLE Pie-Flavored Whiskey

I am not a huge pie eater. Not because I don’t like the flavor, but because I don’t like the texture of cooked fruit. So when I heard about PIEHOLE pie-flavored Whiskey I just knew this could be the option I was looking for: pie flavor without the cooked fruit, and especially not the calories.
PIEHOLE Whiskey is a delicious blend of Canadian Whiskey and pie-flavored liqueur that is inspired by Grandma’s homemade pies. PIEHOLE, best sliced up as a shot, became available November 2014 in the following tempting flavors: Apple Pie, Cherry Pie and Pecan Pie.
To celebrate its arrival, they asked me, along with other influencers, to create our own cocktails or shots using PIEHOLE Whiskey. So many incredible cocktail ideas came to mind, how could they not with the deliciously flavored whiskeys?
My task was to make one cocktail or shot, but how could I resist creating something for each of the PIEHOLE Wiskey flavors? They all not only smell incredible, they taste just like they smell. Rarity in a lot of flavored alcohol. Here are my creations for the challenge: Cran-Apple Pie on the Rocks, Pumpkin-Pecan Cheesecaketini, and “She’s My Cherry Pie” Shot.
