Pumpkin Nog

Who needs an egg when you have the pumpkin? We don't know about you, but we cannot wait for the Christmas season to indulge in this rich and decadent beverage. The eggs and the carols come in due time, but right now as we celebrate autumn, Halloween and the Pilgrims, let's salute the all-mighty pumpkin in this delicious version of Egg Nog.

Pumpkin Nog

1.5 oz. Brandy, such as Calvados
2.0 oz. Half and Half or whole milk
2 teaspoons Maple syrup
2 teaspoons canned pumpkin pie filling

Prepare:
Combine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour into a shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a high ball glass with ice cubes. Garnish with ground nutmeg.

Non-Alcoholic Version:
Omit the brandy. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and additional 1.0 oz. Half and Half.
