Pumpkin Patch

November 25, 2010 (Day 299) — Pumpkin Patch

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Here’s hoping that you’re spending a wonderful day with those that you love!

I don’t imagine you’ll be hanging around my Website on Thanksgiving (unless, you know, you’re in another country), so we’ll make this is a nice little ditty for you to make with your friends and family while entertaining. Consider the Pumpkin Patch as “farewell” to the fall and a “Hello” to the winter season and the eventually wrapping up of Cocktails, 365. It’s been a wild and crazy trip over the past year, and don’t worry, we won’t be vanishing for good! We’ll keep you awesome people up to date with cocktails on a weekly basis after the year is done and over with.

But since it’s a holiday, why not make something a little bit special.

Enjoy it and say hi to your family for me!

Pumpkin Patch

2.5 oz aged rum

1 oz pineapple juice

.75 oz orange juice

.75 oz lemon juice

.5 oz spiced pumpkin pure

.5 oz molasses

Fill a cocktail shaker with all of your ingredients, and the fill the shaker with ice. Shake well for about a minute to make sure everything’s well mixed and then strain into a brandy snifter filled with ice.

Very tasty and fall-like. The molasses and pumpkin add a unique flavor. Tasty!

Happy Thanksgiving!
