HOW TO MAKE A THYME INFUSED PUMPKIN TREAT

Ingredients
Inspiration:
With Halloween approaching, I thought I would put together this delicious cocktail that can be duplicated easily and made into a punch for your spooky party. Keeping with the theme, I wanted a spirit with some real bite; at the end of the day I decided to go with white rum. This allowed me to play with flavors without drowning them out while still adding plenty of flavor. Of course, as I am making a festive cocktail I had to represent with something undeniably Halloween, and as I was carving out my jack-o’-lantern, I decided I could use the excess pumpkin to create something delicious.
As I carved out my Halloween pumpkin I put the flesh into the oven with a few sprigs of thyme and roasted it, giving it a great smoky, almost earthy flavor. Once the pumpkin was roasted sufficiently and the thyme had infused itself with the “meat,” I put it into a blender with sugar syrup. This produced an amazing roasted pumpkin and thyme puree. With all the ingredients ready, I combined the rum and puree together in a shaker with some ice and, once chilled, strained it into my glass over fresh ice. I then topped the mixture off with some lemonade to give it a little sugar kick and balance. The thyme garnish gives you a little extra hint of fresh herb with each sip.
