Boozy Pumpkin Pie

---

I haven't made this for years, but i used to make it every thanksgiving as it was my late fil's favourite dessert. I guess you could use any whisky but i do recommend canadian rye. This is not a heavy pie and is good after a big meal. This is based on a mennonite recipe called karrups pie mit schnapps.
