This pineapple and pumpkin cocktail is the perfect transitional drink as we move into autumn. The pineapple is a throwback to warmer summer months, while pumpkin is probably the most popular flavor to use in anything edible during fall. Created by the blog Cookie and Kate, the pineapple pumpkin cocktail recipe is a cozy alcoholic beverage that will warm you up while cooling you down.
To recreate this drink at home, you will need pineapple juice (such as RW Knudsen), pumpkin puree, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice or cloves and rum. Kate used Myer's brand, but you can use your favorite variety. You will also need a blender and extra cinnamon for garnish.
