FILTERING PROCESS:
Once your distillation is complete you can set up your filtering station. I like to do a quick strain through a large sieve or metal strainer to get out the larger, chunkier elements. This will speed up the following steps. Place your metal strainer lined with coffee filters or the cheesecloth over your second large jar and pour your infused pumpkin liqueur into this in stages. After each stage dump out the sediment remaining. You'll do this until all the solids are removed. OPTIONAL: If you want a really bright orange colored liqueur you can add a few drops of orange food coloring at this point.
BOTTLING PROCESS:
Pour your strained pumpkin liqueur into your decorative bottles, add one of my PERSONALIZABLE COCKTAIL LABELS or my CUSTOMIZABLE HALLOWEEN LABELS and you're ready to give them as gifts and enjoy in cocktails!
TIPS:
You can also use rum instead of vodka, but remember that while vodka doesn't have a very distinctive flavor, rums do and this will affect the final flavor of your end liqueur. Try both and see how you like them.32 ounces of canned pumpkin puree can be substituted for the fresh but you'll lose some of the great flavor you get from the freshly baked squash.
