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.
Party Version: Hell, just use the whole bottle of spiced rum, and for that you’ll need: a 750 ml (25 oz) bottle of Spiced Rum, 1.5 cups of Pumpkin juice, a 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and flavor with pumpkin spice. Serve it on the rocks and garnish with whipped cream and pumpkin spices.
Pumpkin Spice: We included a recipe below in case you don't want to use the store bought version.
