Pumpkin Pie Cocktail

Pumpkin-Spiced Irish Coffee

An after-dinner pick-me-up like Irish coffee can only be improved by adding a sweet pumpkin puree. The puree can be premade by simmering canned (or homemade) puree with milk, sugar, molasses and pumpkin pie spice. When you’re ready for a warm drink, warm a few spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture with milk, hot coffee and a generous pour of your favorite whisky.
