As much as I didn't want to come up with yet another bourbon based drink, there's something warm about it that pairs perfectly with autumn. Since we still had some pumpkin puree left over from last week I thought it would be nice to do another pumpkin themed cocktail. This one is a play on the classic whiskey smash. We swapped out lemon for honey, simple syrup for a brown sugar version, and mint for cinnamon. The resulting drink tasted disturbingly like a pie. Halfway through I started referring to it as a pie and topped it off with vanilla ice cream, which I highly recommend doing. You could probably serve this as dessert and no one would complain.
The Smashing Pumpkin
1 1/2 oz bourbon
1 oz brown sugar simple syrup
1 tbsp pumpkin puree
1/2 tbsp honey
1/8 tbsp cinnamon
dash vanilla
soda water
Add bourbon, brown sugar simple syrup, pumpkin, puree, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla to a large glass or shaker and shake with ice. Strain, pour into a glass and top with with soda water. The addition of vanilla ice cream is optional.
Happy Friday everyone, have a great weekend!
