This is the first cocktail recipe that brings you a fusion of two great fall flavors – Pumpkin and Gingerbread! We could dream up a 100 ways to combine these in a cake, cookie, a pie or any other dessert, but how ingenious is it to make a Pumpkin Gingerbread Cocktail! Complete with a shot of dark rum, a splash of kahlua liqueur and chilled coffee, this is one seriously flavorful Cocktail recipe that will transport you to a world of fairies, gingerbread man and pumpkins! This is a great cocktail recipe for warm and cozy evenings, and I think the kahlua makes it a lovely adult dessert cocktail!
