For those looking for the sexier side of Halloween, it's hard to beat a combo of bourbon and pumpkin. The smooth caramel of the bourbon matches up with the sweet musky pumpkin and cinnamon spice to deliver a warming sensation that screams for a trip out past the pumpkin patch with the sexy cat suited young thing (or sexy fireman) of your choice. Just keep in mind that the couples who disappear from the group for extracurricular activities tend to be the first the implacable evil creature catches up with.

2 fluid ounce bourbon (Bulleit has just the right amount of sweet spice to balance the rich pumpkin)
