Today is
National Pumpkin Day. I've been posting a lot of
pumpkin recipes for
Halloween, mostly for baked goods. But since there are so many
pumpkin liqueurs on the market at this time of year, I thought I'd post
some Chocolate Pumpkin Cocktails.
It's my opinion that pumpkin needs
chocolate, so I put together three recipes for
Chocolate Pumpkin Cocktail recipes for
Halloween. These can be served all through the
Fall, as well as today for
National Pumpkin Day! The first two recipes call for
Pumpkin Liqueur, but the last one uses other liqueurs and some pumpkin spice.

3 ounces Pumpkin Liqueur
Chocolate (melted)
Shake pumpkin liqueur with ice in cocktail shaker.

Slowly add melted chocolate to glass.
