I made this Halloween cocktail for you with pumpkin butter, wheat whiskey, and apple cider.

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it.

Pumpkin-Butter-Cocktail-1

It’s time for another edition of Jam Cocktails!  If you’re late to the party, I’ll catch you up:  I’m too lazy to make simple syrups for my cocktails.  At 5:00, I want a cocktail, and I want it now.  Into my martini shaker goes two scoops of sweet sticky jam, a couple of shots of my spirit of choice, plus a little acidity from juice.  Shake it baby!

I made this Halloween cocktail for you with pumpkin butter, wheat whiskey, and apple cider. For a little Halloween fun, I dipped the rim in caramel sauce.  This bright orange cocktail plus drippy caramel is exactly what we’ll be drinking while we hand out Halloween candy tomorrow night.  Last year, we had 5 kids come to our house to trick-or-treat.  So, we decided to go big for those 5 kids this year and buy full-size candy bars.  With our luck, word will get around that we’re handing out full-size candy bars, and all the kids in town will rush our house.  Too bad, kiddos, we only bought 8.

You need this pumpkin butter in your life:

If you want to eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon like it’s Nutella, I won’t judge you.  I will warn you, though, that you should strain this drink into your serving glass.  The chunks of spices can be daunting in a drink.

Happy Halloween, y’all! Thanks for all the kind words and recommendations about our move to St. Louis.  I read them all and took them to heart.  I didn’t know I had so many readers in STL.  Now I know it’s going to be a great place to live!  Thanks, all!
