Any "pumpkin flavored" anything is trash, starting with beer

>>13079731
What? Are you gay or something ?

Anything good is always good.

I get several carving pumpkins after Halloween and put pumpkin flesh and seeds in everything. Most "pumpkin flavor" is mostly or exclusively the associated spices, which are also good.

>>13079777
Also, absolutely do not attempt to make a pie from carving pumpkin. Sugar pumpkin is what you want for that.

I like to make a big batch of hot cider, put some rye whiskey in there. Once a year, usually October to November.

The first 2 mugs are delicious, but you get tired of it by the end of the gallon. Kinda like winter.

hey hey
go soak your head

I made a batch of chicken pot pies for my boyfriend and one to share with his coworkers. It felt really cozy, and the smell reminds me of fall.

>>13079731
This, except for pumpkin pie. That's the only time pumpkin is acceptable.

I make a drink which is 1 part whiskey, 1 part coffee, 2 parts nog. This is basically holiday four loko and I would be dead if I drank it all year.

This scares me

Thanks. I call it the "Hearth warmer" which sounds inviting I think. Extremely good and extremely powerful. Highly recommended.

>>13080496
how does coffee and liquor work together? that's something I've always worked.

>>13080004
Sounds kinda gross but I’ll try it.

One time a girl made pumpkin seeds one year and I basically fell in love with her. We all carved pumpkins and she took it upon herself to make sure we used all the seeds. Anytime someone mentioned pumpkin seeds she went on the double to get it done. And to make pumpkin seeds you bake them in the oven and add salt.

You get drunk at the usual pace but don't notice it because the coffee is keeping you alert enough to make you think you're sober. By the time you realize that you're fucked up you're both fully energized off having 5 cups of coffee at 10 pm and have impaired judgment from an equivalent volume of whiskey. I like to use espresso or cold brew but regular drip works.

As far as flavor goes, coffee and whiskey both go great in nog to begin with and the coffee adds a bit of a 'dark' flavor demeanor to the whole thing, like smoky almost. I usually use Jameson which works well (cheap enough for mixing, decent, and vanilla-y flavor aspect) but I'm open to other whiskey suggestions if anyone has any thoughts.

Persimmons.

White chocolate mocha >> pumpkin spice latte desu.

My step brother likes baked Pumpkin seeds.

>>13080540
I feel like it would be better with decafe

>>13080551
I just had my first persimmon recently, I didn't know a fruit could be so sweet. I want to make sauce from them with cinnamon and nutmeg.

>>13080577
If you haven't tried it I suggest you do, all the fun of being hammered with none of the lethargy. Decaf is a reasonable option though, same alcohol content with no serious loss of flavor.

>>13080585
If I drank.

>>13080518
White Russians, which The Dude drinks, are half and half, Kahlua and vodka. The half and half really smooths out the vodka and the Kahlua adds a nice touch.

>>13080619
I dunno, I just don't get it. I've tried to drink different things but the only thing I really like is a sunset or a sex on the beach. I rarely drink. I'd rather a coke.

>>13080579
All fruits are sweet, if you get on our good side that is.

Anybody have good recipes for mixed cider drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic welcome.

Pecan and pumpkin pie. Both are best when actually in-season and right after a big Thanksgiving meal.

Pour 2 parts apple cider and 1 part apple juice in a large pot, throw in some cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil then kill the heat and let cool. Add bourbon if you’d like it alcoholic. Enjoy.

Pumpkin beer is the shit. And I unironically enjoy pumpkin spice lattes, but only if there's an extra shot in there to offset the sweetness.

>>13080623
If you dont drink often the alcohol taste can be overpowering.

>>13082161
is that Your wassle? We drink it hot where I am
>>13081865
iirc 1 part tea (we use black tea like for sweet tea), 1 part apple juice, 1 part orange juice, and 1 part pineapple juice, then toss in red hots to taste, serve hot.

I only make it in the fall because I roast my own tan cheese pumpkin for it, and I don’t think it’s as good from frozen or canned puree.

Pumpkin soup w/ pecorino cheese, full fat cream, sauteed onions, and white wine; season with smoked and reg paprika, black pepper, a couple cloves of garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and chili powder. Run it through the food processor for a smooth consistency.

It’s good topped with goat cheese, green onion, cubed sourdough, bacon bits, cheddar curds, whatever you want!

>>13082178
My mom used to make it so idk where the recipe is from. Probably something she just threw together. It can be enjoyed either hot or cold though.

>>13080004
Is the coffee hot or cold?

>>13082173
Yeah as I figured it could be

>>13079708
Don't even give af if it means i have the tastes of a soccer mom. Pumpkin spice is fucking awesome in almost anything.

>>13079919
Lol ur a faggot

The pre-made pumpkin snack cakes, toss em in the microwave for like 10 seconds.

>>13082801
I do cold (or room temp at least) but hot is an interesting idea. I prefer cold drinks generally but hot is a good fall-winter style. Might have to give it a shot.

Pumpkin ravioli and pumpkin ice cream
