Pumpkin Pie Cocktail Recipe Modification:
We tested the *original recipe for the Pumpkin Pie cocktail today – and found it to be way too “pumpkin-y” for our taste – so here’s a modified version of the recipe that we liked better, with a much more subtle hint of pumpkin:
• 1 oz Malibu rum
• 1 oz Kahlua
• 6 oz milk
• 1/3 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 to 1 tsp pumpkin pie filling (depending on desired taste)
Blend all ingredients together in a blender with a few cubes of ice. Serve in a glass rimmed with very finely crushed graham cracker crumbs. Sprinkle more cinnamon on top for garnish. Enjoy!
*(original recipe ingredients: 1 oz Malibu rum, 1/2 oz Kahlua, 2 oz milk, 3/4 oz pumpkin pie filling, ice, cinnamon for garnish)

Thanks for the pumpkin pie modification! The eggnog drink looks like it’s frozen, it looks awfully whipped don’t you think? I was curious to try it, but I don’t like spiked egg nog and if that’s all it is, then I probably won’t like it.

The Gingersnap is very much a spiked eggnog recipe – so you definitely need to be a spiked eggnog lover to like that one! maybe one of the others is a better option for you
