Schlafly Pumpkin Bomb Recipe

I know it is getting late in the season for pumpkin beers. I also believe that is ridiculous as it is not even Halloween yet! Nevertheless, if you can find a good pumpkin spice beer such as Schlafly Pumpkin, some Buttershots and some Fulton's Pumpkin Pie Liquor, you are in for a treat. A coworker of mine, Elonzo, created his own version of the Pumpkin Pie bomb and it is very tasty. It is essentially a weaker, holiday themed version of the Irish Car Bomb. Start with a half a glass or so of Schlafly Pumpkin, pour in a shot of Buttershots and then drop in a shot of the Fulton's Pumpkin Pie Liquor and chug before the mixture curdles. I also think that perhaps a half a shot of Hot Damn or another cinnamon liquor will add a little kick. This is not an overwhelmingly alcoholic drink, However, anything one consumes in "bomb form" usually equates to a bad idea or a good time, usually both.... I know in Springfield, the Schlafly Pumpkin is still available at Hy Vee and I have heard the Fulton's is still available at Price Cutter. All of the individual components should cost around $10 a piece. While it is not the cheapest drink to mix, it will go a long way and the liquor can be stretched pretty far, I ran out of Schlafly Pumpkin long before anything else.
