No tricks here - this pumpkin coffee cocktail is the perfect treat for the season on a spooky Halloween night!

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz mezcal
  • 1 oz Licor 43
  • 2 oz epresso
  • .5 oz Kahlua
  • .5 oz Creme de Cacao
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
  • 1 egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba for vegan)
  • Small pumpkin (carved, rinsed, chilled)

Garnish: Dash of cinnamon and cinnamon stick

Add all ingredients into shaker and dry shake (without ice) for 15-30 seconds to build the foam.

Open the shaker, add ice, and shake again for 30 seconds until well chilled and frothy.

Strain into a rocks glass and garnish with a dash of ground cinnamon and a cinnamon stick.

 Tip: For an extra festive version, serve the finished cocktail in a carved-out mini pumpkin. Remove the seeds and pulp, then rinse it with water before using.
