Ingredients
  

For the Cocktail

For the Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prep shaker. Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Use larger cubes to keep your drink from diluting as you shake it.
  • Chill glass. Fill your preferred glass with crushed ice. Choose a glass that has at least a 16 ounce capacity, because the crushed ice takes up a lot of space in this cocktail.
  • Add pumpkin. Add 1 tbsp of pumpkin purée to the cocktail shaker.
    1 tbsp Pumpkin Purée
  • Juice lime. Add 1/2 ounce of lime juice next to the cocktail shaker.
    .5 ounce Lime Juice
  • Add syrup. Pour 1/2 ounce of pumpkin spice simple syrup into the cocktail shaker.
    .5 ounce Pumpkin Spice Simple Syrup
  • Add vodka. Finally, add 2 ounces of vanilla vodka to the cocktail shaker.
    2 ounces Vanilla Vodka
  • Shake. Shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds.
  • Strain. Strain into your cocktail glass. If you prefer for your cocktail to have no bits of pumpkin purée, you can strain it through a cocktail sieve before serving.
  • Top with ginger beer. Layer the ginger beer on top and give your drink a quick stir to mix the ingredients.
    4 ounces Ginger Beer
  • Garnish + serve. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, dehydrated lime wheel, and a fine grating of nutmeg. Serve immediately
    whole nutmeg, dehydrated lime wheels, cinnamon sticks

Notes

No pumpkin spice syrup - use regular simple syrup and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice.
Pumpkin Pie filling - if you only have pumpkin pie filling, you can use that. Leave out the spices and simple syrup instead!
