Creating cocktails for every season has become one of my favorite things about my blog. But when I was challenged by a friend to come up with a pumpkin spice whiskey cocktail, I was a bit terrified. I was afraid I wouldn’t make something that tastes enough like pumpkin spice but also taste good at the same time.

Rebecca Creek Whiskey

I reached out to my good buddies over at Rebecca Creek Whiskey for the yummy spirits and went from there. Try this one on a cool night, or even out by the camp fire. I must say, I am pretty impressed with this drink, I hope you like it.

Create The Pumpkin Spice Simple Syrup

Items Needed

• 1/2 cup water
• 2 Tablespoons of pumpkin puree
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 pinch of ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch of ground clove
• 1/2 cup maple syrup (you can use agave, but I really like the maple flavor in this drink)
• 1 pinch of ground all spice

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat.
2. Then simmer for 8 minutes, stirring often.
3. Taste it to make sure you like it, and let it cool 2-3 minutes.
4. Poor the mixture over a strainer (I used 2 strainers to be sure) into a syrup bottle (can be bought at any craft store).
