‘Tis the season for Pumpkin Cocktails!
HOLLA Spirits is a York, Pa.-based company making clean, delicious vodka at an incredible price point.
Praise the Gourd is their pumpkin vodka, make with pumpkin extract and cinnamon sticks. It has a strong vanilla sugar aroma, but it tastes much more neutral, with the spice from the cinnamon chiming in and ultimately creating a warm, snuggle-by-the-fire vibe that pumpkin spice has become synonymous with.
I know you’re going to love mixing this up, no matter what fall bev is your favorite.
For some quick pumpkin cocktail ideas, consider Praise the Gourd in a White Russian or Mule, mixed with cider, added to your favorite coffee, or spiked in milkshakes! I’d also mix this with some plain seltzer or soda water for a fun, easy, fall spritzer.
Pumpkin also pairs well with citrus and sage, which I happen to grow in my garden year-round, so I wanted to try something that balanced those sweet flavors.
Pumpkin Cocktail
- 3 oz HOLLA Spirits Praise the Gourd pumpkin vodka
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- fresh sage leaf
- ice
Combine the vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until well chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass (I’m a fan of this gold-rimmed coup, pictured above). Float a sage leaf or two on top as garnish.
