We've found two so far - any more suggestions?

"pumpkin martini"
3 oz bols smashing pumpkin liquer
1 oz capt morgan's spice rum
dash half & half
shake, strain, garnish with cinnamon
- very sweet

Champkin (?) (we need a better name)
3 oz champagne
3 oz Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale

so far all three of us are leaning towards service the champkin at our party.

    A friend of mine always used to serve green apple martinis and add dry ice to the mix and called it 'Witch's Brew'.

    Tasty, but not drinkable all night!

      An Alligator 'rita

      An insanely delicious Vietnamese/Mexican fusion beverage:

      One ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
      Half a cup of sweetened condensed milk
      One cup ice cube
      Tequila to taste (tastes better with more rather than less)

      Put the works in a blender and process until smooth.

        The Naughty Sorceress (named for evil wench from "Kingdom of Loathing")

        fill a small highball glass with ice
        squeeze in one half a lime (it must be from a real lime, none of that crap in a plastic lime or Rose's crap. Better to substitute a lemon that is real)
        Top 'er off with B & B
        Garnish with a wedge of lime and cherry on a TPS*

    both of those recipes sound amazing, george. I wonder if you could cut the sweetness of the pumpkin martini by cutting back the pumpkin and adding a bit more rum or would it throw the flavor off too much?

    How about a "smashed pumpkin" or "exploding pumpkin"? - a shot of pumpkin liquer in a half pint of pumpkin ale?

    yum! I can't wait for halloween!
