Notes
To make chai-infused rum, soak a few tea bags in a bottle of rum for a week, then remove tea bags.
Ingredients
- 1 delicata squash
- 2 ounces chai-infused rum
- 3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/2 ounce pepita or orgeat syrup
- 1/4 ounce pumpkin liqueur
- Crushed ice and whole ice
- Cocktail umbrella, optional
Directions
- Ahead of time, cut the top off a long, thin delicata squash and remove the seeds. Place in freezer until thoroughly frozen.
- In a large cocktail shaker, combine chai-infused rum, lime juice, pepita or orgeat syrup, pumpkin liqueur, and crushed ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Add whole ice to the bottom of an old-fashioned glass. Remove squash from freezer, and situate the glass so the squash stays upright.
