Notes
NOTE ON BLENDING: If you want to make sure this is a super smooth cocktail you can blend all ingredients (except champagne and cinnamon/sugar for rim) for 1 minute in the blender and then pour into a pitcher.
NOTE: This recipe makes enough for 6-8 drinks depending on the person. You can easily cut it in half to serve 3-4.
NOTE: Once prepared it's best to store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If storing for later wait to add the champagne/sparkling wine. After storing, the pumpkin will settle and then you will want to blend it or whisk before serving.
