Looks good to me. Gotta see if one of my locals has pumpkin Schnapps.

That looks fucking delicious. When I worked at the restaurant, we used to make a Pumpkin Martini with pumpkin syrup, half and half, vodka, and cinnamon. The chilly weather always makes me crave thicker, cream-based drinks. To fill up on, I guess.

I've actually never seen pumpkin schnapps.
That just occured to me.

What other drinks would be made with such a product?

There's pumpkin schnapps? Damn, I must be missing out.

From what I can find out, pumpkin schnapps (or, rather a pumpkin liqueur known as Pumpkin Smash) was manufactured by Bols, and they discontinued it some time ago. A couple of posts on bartender.com recommend the use of either Torani pumpkin spice syrup or pumpkin puree in its place or, for those of you who like to do it yourself, here are a few sites offering recipes for your own pumpkin liqueur:

Recipe for party-sized amount
This one has photos
This one uses rum instead of vodka

The Australian company Moffatdale Ridge apparently produce (or possibly produced) a pumpkin liqueur at $15 Australian per bottle. Their email address can be found here, if anyone's interested.

I'd taste it, though I'm not really a big fan of pumpkin.

Off topic, Dairy Queen has a pumpkin pie blizzard. Blecchh.
