Halloween Sodas ’09

October 2nd, 2009 by John Wolfe

Jones Halloween lineup is in stores once again. They usually introduce new images each year, but there doesn’t appear to be a change to the packaging from last Halloween. Last year, I picked up Candy Corn and SpooooKiwi. This time around, in the cans, I grabbed Lemon Drop Dead and Buried Pomegranate; in the bottles, it was Blood Orange. I love the rotting jack-o-lantern photo on the Blood Orange!

I just cracked open the first bottle a few minutes ago — it’s flavor reminds me a lot of Orange Crush. My “fortune” on the underside of the cap reads: “Make As Many Corrections As You Consider Needed.” Boy, do they know me. That’s the motto I use while creating my groundbreakers (and just about anything else). :)

I didn’t try the lemon or pomegranate flavors. They’ve already been dropped off at my grandparents’ house. I’m the cereal nut, while my grandfather’s the soda fiend.

Pumpkin Nog

August 9th, 2009 by John Wolfe

Out of all the entries I’ve written, I probably receive more feedback pertaining to Halloween Egg Nog than any other. Apparently, to find retailers selling egg nog during the month of October (featuring Halloween artwork on the carton) is even more rare than I first realized. While I would love to overnight a carton, packed in dry ice, to everyone who’s inquired, I know that’s not really feasible. Instead, I’ve tried to do the next best thing by tracking down a great pumpkin nog recipe.

Though pumpkin nog isn’t exactly the same as the egg variety, the pumpkin flavor should contribute to your festive Halloween mood; especially when you consider Halloween Nog doesn’t contain pumpkin and is identical to Christmas Nog — the only difference is the packaging. I haven’t whipped up this recipe yet, but it has received five stars from everyone that’s tried it.

It sounds extremely simple to make, so I’ll definitely be stopping by my local grocery store to pick up the ingredients, which include: pumpkin, honey, evaporated milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and ice cream. For specific quantities and instructions on how to combine the ingredients, visit Very Best Baking’s Pumpkin Nog page.

While the recipe calls for vanilla ice cream, I bet pumpkin ice cream would be really awesome. Of course, pumpkin flavored ice cream won’t be released for a few more weeks. Hang in there, fall and Halloween are on their way. ;)
