The Ichabod Crane Cocktail is Like a Pumpkin Spice Milkshake
Whether Halloween’s around the corner or not, the Ichabod Crane cocktail is pretty fabulous. It blends pumpkin-flavored liqueur with Frangelico, rum and vanilla ice cream. Seriously, just reading the description is enough to make your mouth water.
This is a rich, sweet, strong drink with three ounces of alcohol. The texture is like a milkshake, and a fairly thick one at that. I like to serve it with spoon straws so guests can spoon it out when it’s hard to get through the straw.
It’s a drink that can actually replace dessert. The taste here is pumpkin and hazelnut with vanilla and hints of caramel.
I actually prefer this to any pumpkin spice drink I can think of. Of course, maybe that’s just because I’m not the world’s biggest fan of pumpkin spice.
But I really enjoy the subtlety of the nutmeg in this one. Or cinnamon, if you prefer.
Whichever spice you use, you can sprinkle it on top and stir it down into the drink after the fact. Or you can throw it in the blender with everything else if you want to make sure it gets really mixed up.
