You're unlikely to find acorn squash in a typical cocktail. You're even less likely to find two different acorn squash preparations in a cocktail. But the Harvest Nog squashes (sorry) that notion by combining the gourd with vanilla ice cream and Drambuie liqueur, yielding a dessert-like drink that's perfect for consuming during the fall and winter seasons. The recipe comes from drinks pro Vance Henderson. He employs two different approaches to prepare the acorn squash, allowing the vegetable to flex its muscles in a couple of different directions. Green acorn squash is combined with sugar and allspice to make a cordial, while white acorn squash is studded with cloves, roasted in the oven and then blended. If you're vegetable-cocktail skittish, don't fear: The allspice and cloves help the drink to retain a more traditional “nog” flavor profile. The Drambuie—made from scotch and honey—will keep spirits high. Then you've got the sweet and creamy vanilla ice cream, and come on, everyone loves ice cream.
