Peter The Great Pumpkin

There is a raging (well, by my standards) hurricane outside, I expect to lose power at any moment and we are battling some serious water in the basement. I had talked about this drink a few days ago with DH, and after I lost my cool at the kids for picking on each other - again - he came out of the kitchen with this little beaut in hand. The man is a genius when it comes to edibles.

I was thinking of a White Russian, only, with Pumpkin Liquor and cream-flavored vodka, and no milk. I had been planning to call it an Orange Russian, but DH suggested calling it Peter the Great Pumpkin.

It's sweet and almost chocolatey, with just a hint of pumpkin pie to it. I think the pumpkin pie liquor is somewhat easily overpowered. Here's what's in it.

Ingredients:
About 2oz. Whipped cream vodka
An airplane bottle of Kahlua (a little less than two ounces)
About 4 ounces (maybe a bit more) of Pumpkin Pie liquor

We're lazy, so I'm pretty sure this is stirred, not shaken.

If I were serving this at a party, I'd start with a nicer glass, and add a dash of pumpkin pie spice, and consider mixing in some leftover pumpkin pie. It was completely delicious, even without the pumpkin piue spice, the fancy glass, the nice lighting, the fall decor in the background, and all the other bits.
