Pumpkin Liquor

slimy · #1 07-11-2006

Hi guys, I'm new to the board and yes, of course, I have a question.

My wife and I are hosting our 5th annual Pumpkin Carving Party this year and we are wanting to serve some libation and call it "Pumpkin Juice". We have contacted the local liquor stores here and have looked online for a source of a pumpkin spirit (i.e. pumpkin vodka, pumpkin schnapps, pumpkin liqueur) and have come up empty handed. I know there's a pumpkin beer that is available during the holiday season, but has anybody heard of a pumpkin liquor? And would you know how to obtain it?

Maybe recipes for making your own. Anything you all could do to help would be appreciated.

Never heard of a pumpkin liquor but you may want to check with a winery. There are a few that do differnt things for the seasons and most would probably be bottling fall flovors now.

How about this:

I know it isn't Pumpkin Juice, but they sound good. I guess the only thing to do is to try each of them out and see what fits the bill!

Another alternative could be to serve pumpkin (pie) flavored ice cream drizzled with pumpkin pie spice flavored liquors, like a cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

I actually used to have a bottle of that schnapps. It was more like cinnamon than pumpkin. Can't find it anywhere online, but that recipe is proof it existed at one time.

I have found that ABC liquor can generally get you anything you ask for.

My favorite was Pear flavored cider, since they had to order a case to get us some we took 2 six packs. The guy there said that the rest was sold out in a day and that they have gotten it since and it is gone as soon as they put it in the cooler. I love that stuff, so I told him to call me next time!
LOL

According to the last post on this page, pumpkin schnapps is called Bol's Pumpkin Smash.

Check out your local watering holes. I was always amazed at the number of bottles of Liquour you could find at the bars in the States. Check out bars that carry the "puckers" line as they usually have everything then. Also, check out martini bars if there are any near you. Once you find the stuff on the shelves, then find out who the supplier is and go from there. I cant imagine it should be that hard to find. Funny when your looking for something you can never find it eh.

I asked my wife that too. But she isn't in favor of taking surgar out of anything. She hates it when she orders a coke and I a diet coke from Micky Ds, and when I drink mine I think it tastes like a regular coke. So, I ask her to try my drink and she give me the "gag face." Which means it is diet. LOL. OH, well. Some people's kids. Can't my wife just tell me it is diet? Man!
