I would like to mention that I wrote the draft to this entry when I was most certainly NOT pregnant.
I repeat, I was NOT PREGNANT when I made this tasty, tasty drink.
Are we good? Okay...

What's a girl to do when left with half a can of pumpkin puree? Mix it with alcohol, natch!
After browsing online for some inspiration and working with what I had on hand, here's what I came up with.
Serves 1
Step one - in a shaker with ice, put:
2 oz gold rum (though white rum, vodka, or maybe even apple brandy could be nice)
1 oz white creme de cacao
1 heaping kitchen spoon of pumpkin puree (straight pumpkin. You could try the sweetened stuff, but then I'd probably leave out the creme de cacao and spices)
1 small splash of vanilla
a shaking of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger
Pour this into a martini glass.
Step two - in a shotglass, put:
1/2oz evaporated milk (theoretically, milk or cream could work, too)
1/4oz white creme de cacao
Pour this gently over the back of a spoon into the martini. It should settle under the pumpkin layer.
Step three - drizzle a touch of kahlua over the top. Most of it will settle into the very bottom.
Top with a dash of nutmeg (or whatever you please. Cinnamon, crumbled graham crackers, candied pumpkin seeds, etc.)
Voila. Put your car keys some place safe and enjoy.
