Chocolate Pumpkin Cocktail Recipe


Yes, I did again, I made yet another Pumpkin Cocktail. I can't seem to help myself, at this time of year I migrate towards pumpkin. But this one has chocolate in it!

That alone warrants another pumpkin cocktail, doesn't it? And, yes, that's a new coffee bitters in the recipe, Frape and Sons sent me some samples and it was a perfect way to balance the sweetness and accent the chocolate and spices.

The
Chocolate Pumpkin
Cocktail

INGREDIENTS:
2 Oz. Quick Pumpkin Vodka
1 Oz. White Creme de Cacao
