Pumpkin ‘tini, $9
Want to see for yourself if Chad Johnson’s still got the goods? Head to Bungalow Lounge (1622 W. Belmont Ave. 773-244-0400) for a taste of his pumpkin potable made with Stoli Vanil vodka, fresh pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie syrup, a dash of cream and Goldschlager, served in a cinnamon-rimmed martini glass and garnished with a stick of pumpkin pocky, an Asian sweet. At 9 p.m. Oct. 26, Bungalow will be BYOP–that’s pumpkin– for its Third Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. Bring your own gourd and make a creative carving for a chance to win prizes. Did we mention Chad’s drink will only be $7 that night? Yeah, we’ll see you there. We’ll be the ones attempting a portrait of the bartender.
