It is made with a pumpkin-infused vodka. There are many different flavored vodkas out there and if you can find a pumpkin one, that is the easiest. If not, you can infuse your own! It takes a little bit of preparation beforehand but it is soooooo worth it:-)

Susie, In re. to your comment on my blog. I don't have an Ipod either. I just used the music I have uploaded to my blog through Playlist. That pumpkin pie cocktail sounds so good! I thought you would be proud to know I started my prep work for my Thanksgiving meal. Got the gravy started. My mother in Law has given me some great recipes from Cooks that I am able to do ahead so the actual day isn't insane. Yeah!

That does sound tasty. I also read a little while ago that you can use that same basic method to infuse vodka with any flavor you want - candy, vanilla, fruit... The possibilities are endless!
