    How to Add Pumpkin Flavor to Cocktails

    That rich pumpkin flavor can be added to cocktails in a variety of ways.

    From canned pumpkin puree, as I add in my Pumpkin Spice Margarita, to pumpkin-flavored coffee syrup, you will be able to find a recipe to make based on ingredients you feel comfortable with.

    You can even make classic cocktails a little more fall-friendly by swapping out the traditional spirit for some pumpkin-flavored alcohol.

    Sometimes you can find Pumpkin Pie Spice Extract which can take any cocktail recipe and add that pumpkin spice flavor.

    Tips

    • When mixing up your own easy pumpkin cocktails, try using maple syrup for the sweetener! It adds a richness, that pairs perfectly with the pumpkin flavor. It's a great fall switch from using regular simple syrup.
    • Only need a tablespoon or two of pumpkin? Freeze the rest so you can make pumpkin puree cocktails all season long. Scoop tablespoon-sized dollops of pumpkin onto a wax paper-covered sheet pan. Freeze until hard, then bag up! Grab and defrost only what you need!
    • Just about any liquor will work with pumpkin flavor but some of my favorites are spiced rum and bourbon or whisky. Of course, vodka such a versatile flavor, is great for drinks too!
    • Adding a rim to a cocktail glass is the perfect finishing touch, even for pumpkin cocktails. You can use Tajin, spiced sugar, pie spice and even caramel and they will all taste delicious (of course, which rim to use will depend on which recipe you are making above).

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are fun ways to serve Pumpkin Cocktails?

    From copper mugs that look like pumpkins to a pumpkin punchbowl, you can serve pumpkin cocktails in just about anything! Use a pumpkin ice mold and chill a larger batch of a fall drink. Garnish with a cute Halloween stir stick or pumpkin umbrella, and you're all set.

    Can you make your own pumpkin puree?

    Yes, if the recipe you choose requires pumpkin puree, you can make your own. Head to this recipe from Dish by Dish to see how.

    Are pumpkin cocktails sweet?

    Boozy pumpkin drinks can be on the sweet side but have a hint of savory that is really nice! It keeps the drinks from feeling like you're eating dessert. Pumpkin pairs well with cream which you can sweeten up in a number of ways. It also depends on how you are adding pumpkin to a drink. A pumpkin syrup will make a drink on the sweeter side.
