Super Secret: There is no pumpkin
I know I know we’ve been out of the summer season for what, two weeks now? And I’m already handing out tropical drink recipes…? Yea I am and I’m not really ashamed. We could use a little tropical in our Halloween Party, right? The disclosure I have to make sure everyone knows, and I hope I’m not breaking any hearts by doing this, but there is no pumpkin in this drink. It’s just sort of made to look like a pumpkin. To be fair, there are endless other ways to get pumpkin everything in the Autumn – almost too much. So for the anti pumpkin fanatics not to worry – this cocktail is entirely pumpkin free.
Tropical Pumpkin Punch
1oz Cruzan Spiced Rum
1oz Dekuyper Creme de Banana
.5oz Midouri Melon Liqueur
3oz Fanta, or any orange soda
Directions:
Pour the Midouri into the bottom of your glass first, then add ice, filling about halfway. Next, pour in your measurements of rum and creme de banana. Lastly, add your orange soda. Garnish with a pumpkin candy piece (for the festive-ness) and drink up – this cocktail is delicious.
Note: This drink can be adapted into a punch for easy serving for your entire party. Replace the Midori with 1 quart of lime sorbet, (or if melon is available use that) use 1 cup each of the Rum and Creme de Banana and one and a half two liters of Orange Soda.
