Calling All Basic Witches

This cool, crisp weather that has fallen over the QC area as of late evokes feelings of comfort, warmth & nostalgia. Typically, the flavors that accompany these cooler temps consist of warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, cayenne & paprika as well as any types of dry herbs that will last through the cold, winter months. Pumpkin anything & everything is also a given - especially seeing the popularity of the Pumpkin Spice Latte. 
Here at Baked, we try our best to incorporate seasonal flavors & in season fruits & vegetables into our baked goods, menus, chef features & events. Our cocktail menu is no exception. Now that our new, Fall cocktail menu has been jiving for a few weeks there has been a several stand out all stars. The Basic White Witch - a pumpkin spice cocktail definitely being one of them! If we had a dollar for every time someone asked us for a recipe...let's just say we would have a lot of dollars.

Perhaps the most famous Fall flavor of all, Pumpkin is already a popular flavor in both sweet & savory dishes. From Pumpkin Pie, to savory & spicy Pumpkin soup. Pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin curry...there are countless ways to use this fall squash. So why not put it in your cocktail?! And yes, you can purchase pumpkin flavoring, pumpkin spice syrup & all kinds of other artificially flavored pumpkin spice concoctions to use in your cocktails & recipes. You can even purchase Pumpkin Bitters! Which does sound quite delicious in a spicy, whiskey based cocktail. But for this particular cocktail, we wanted to add not just flavor but also a bit of body. Not too much, we don't want anyone drinking a spiked smoothie. But just enough to add a tad of texture to the drink. 
This is a great recipe to serve warm for a yummy spiked White Hot Cocoa style cocktail! It would be great to enjoy next to a bonfire or while huddled up on the couch on a chilly fall evening. You all have asked & we have delivered! Here it is folks!

Basic White Witch Cocktail
0.5oz Kahlua
1oz Vanilla Vodka
Top with Pumpkin Spice Creamer (you can purchase this or make your own. Add 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp allspice to half & half)
1/4 Tablespoon Pumpkin Puree

Serve warm or cold & top with whipped cream & your choice of roasted pumpkin seeds, caramel drizzle, a dusting of cinnamon or white chocolate shavings. 

And if you need a sweet treat to accompany your cocktail - we have Pumpkin cake balls in store right now! Expect more delicious Halloween & fall goodies hitting the bakery shelves this week!
