Tricks and treats will be on everyone’s mind this Halloween weekend. Celebrating All Hallows Eve is too fun to pass up, and serving a pumpkin cocktail for the festivities is a no brainer. There are lots of ways to inject a bit of pumpkin into a cocktail, from a hefty helping of pumpkin infused vodka to a dollop of pumpkin purée. Mixologist Neal Bodenheimer of CureCo. in New Orleans uses a trick of his own to take the pumpkin cocktail in an entirely different direction. He saves the seeds from carving a jack-o-lantern and makes a pumpkin seed milk, then mixes it with turbinado sugar for a woody pumpkin flavor. “I’ve had a lot of fall/pumpkin requests over the years and I think all pumpkin drinks kind of taste the same, so I wanted to come at the idea differently,” explains Bodenheimer. Use Neal’s trick to treat your friends with his recipe for Dressed Up Sling.
