This Jack-O-Lantern cocktail looks like a pumpkin when garnished correctly, but it has none of the pumpkin flavoring. It's a great drink that mixes Cognac with the flavor of orange (always a great combination) and it has the visual aesthetics which are perfect for Halloween. If you don't want to make it yourself, stop by Southern Hospitality in NYC where you can get the original.
