Pumpkin Lux Lassi

Pumpkin is one of those things that people either love or love to hate. I'm glad I'm in the former boat because the explosion of pumpkin this Fall is absurd: from Pringles to Poptarts to perfume. You might be thinking there is nothing possibly left that could be pumpkin-fied. Well, you, my friend, are wrong.
That's right folks, it's time for some spiked pumpkin lassi.

I had the idea for this recipe while sipping on some regular mango lassi. My usual experimentation logic is that if two things are the same color, they can be substituted for each other. If I were you, I wouldn't take this advice to heart, BUT it's how I stumbled upon this wonderful recipe. All you need is yogurt, honey, a can of pumpkin and some spices!...oh and some Kahlua.
