Here are a couple of ideas from

The Meadery has a recipe for "Spirit of Wine of the vegetable you chose" here...

have not heard specifically of a pumpkin one, but have heard of some rather odd
vegetable combinations that people say have turned out alright. Might want to
keep in mind that raw pumpkin does not have quite the same flavor as cooked, so
you might try a small batch with some cinnamon stick, cloves and nutmeg. A bit
of vanilla might smooth the flavor out.<br><br>Irusan

Baron Tigerd had a Fruitcake cordial one time. Basicly he took vodka, soaked a
fruitcake in it for about three weeks and then strained the liquid through a
coffee filter. Yes it's crude but it truly did taste
like Fruitcake. My suggestions is this, take a half a pumpkin pie (crust and
all) and puree it, then throw it in vodka, shake well and let sit for atleast a
week, strain through coffee filter (or cheese cloth if too thick) and then
chill. Yes it might be cheating slightly but why reinvent the wheel when you can
do it with the real thing.
