This pumpkin spice old fashioned is the perfect fall bourbon cocktail! It combines bourbon, an easy pumpkin spice syrup made from pumpkin butter, and spicy bitters. 

Ingredients

For the syrup:

  • 1 cup pumpkin butter
  • 1 cup water

 

For the cocktail:

  • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
  • 1 ounce pumpkin spice syrup
  • 1 dash angostura bitters
  • 1 dash of cinnamon bitters

Instructions

  1. Make the pumpkin spice syrup by combining 1 cup of pumpkin butter and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Cook until the butter has loosened (about 10-20 minutes). Then strain while still warm. 
  2. Add a large ice cube to a rocks glass (or ice to a mixing glass) and top with 1 1/2 ounces of bourbon.
  3. Top with 1 ounce of the pumpkin spice syrup, 1 dash of Angostura bitters, and 1 dash of cinnamon bitters. Stir to combine.
  4. Garnish with star anise and a marigold. 

Notes

Store the leftover syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Syrup makes enough for 6-8 cocktails.
