Here are a few tips for making pumpkin spice cocktails:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree whenever possible. It will give your cocktails a richer flavor and a more vibrant color.
  • If you're using store-bought pumpkin puree, make sure to read the label carefully. Some pumpkin puree contains added sugar or spices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. Pumpkin spice pairs well with a variety of other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. You can also add other ingredients to your cocktails, such as coffee, chocolate, or maple syrup.
  • Get creative with your garnishes. A few simple garnishes can really elevate your cocktails and make them look more festive. Try using cinnamon sticks, nutmeg shavings, pumpkin seeds, or even candy pumpkins.

No matter what your favorite cocktail is, you can easily give it a pumpkin spice twist this fall. So get creative and enjoy the delicious flavors of the season paired with your favorite Global Spirits brand!
