What's in a Pumpkin Pie Spiced Rum?
We've taken the flavors of pumpkin pie and blended them with rum to create a flavorful drink that's perfect for fall. This cocktail features real pumpkin purée, spiced rum, and a touch of pumpkin pie spices to bring all those fall flavors to life. Oh, and don't forget the whipped cream!
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Spiced Rum: Provides warmth and depth; you can use regular rum if preferred.
- 0.75 oz Liquid Pumpkin: You’ll need a can of pumpkin purée. See notes below for steps.
- 0.25 oz Maple Syrup (or Simple Syrup): Adds sweetness and enhances the autumnal taste.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: A dash to infuse those classic fall spices.
- Garnish: Whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin spice. Add a cinnamon stick for an extra gold star.
Instructions
- In a shaker, combine rum, pumpkin, maple syrup, and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
- Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish: Top with whipped cream, pumpkin pie spice, and add a cinnamon stick if you want a gold star.
Notes
Pumpkin Purée: Obviously, one of the key ingredients here is pumpkin. Yes you can puree and strain a pumpkin to get the liquid, or infuse the rum with store-bought pumpkin puree and then strain it out, but here’s what we did:
- Purchase a 28oz can of pureed pumpkin, the sort you use to make a pie.
- Pour the puree into a sieve over a bowl.
- Allow it to sit for an hour or two.
- Juice will slowly separate and collect in the bowl.
- This process yielded us about 5 oz.
