Author: Brandon Matzek

Recipe type: Cocktail

Serves: 1

 

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 oz. pumpkin puree (canned or homemade*)
• 1 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka
• 2 oz. apple cider
• 1 1/2 oz. ginger beer

Instructions

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice then add pumpkin puree, vanilla vodka and apple cider. Shake vigorously until well chilled.
2. Strain into a glass filled with ice and top off with ginger beer.

Notes

*To make pumpkin puree: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut a pie pumpkin in half and scoop out seeds and strands. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30 – 40 minutes. The texture of the pumpkin flesh should be soft when pierced with a fork. Let cool a bit. Scoop flesh into a food processor and puree until smooth.
