INSTRUCTIONS
Pumpkin purée:
- Cut a pumpkin into small pieces and put them in the oven at 160°C for 30 minutes, then add pumpkin pie spice to taste.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool. Then remove the skin and insert the peeled pieces into a food processor until obtaining a smooth consistency.
Cocktail:
- After preparing the pumpkin purée, mix it with single cream in a milk frother or manually, to obtain a soft cream.

- Insert the vodka, rum, coffee liqueur, espresso shot and pumpkin syrup into a cocktail shaker, and stir to combine.
