Pumpkin Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe

The old -fashioned pumpkin is a seasonal turn of the classic cocktail, mixing hot spices of the fall with the rich flavors of the pumpkin. This drink brings the fall spirit in a glass, combining pumpkin puree, bourbon and a touch of maple syrup for a comforting and elegant experience. Whether you organize an autumn gathering, that you celebrate Thanksgiving or that you just knew a quiet evening, the old -fashioned pumpkin is the perfect choice.

Introduction:

The old is one of the oldest and most loved cocktails in American history. As a rule, it is made with bourbon or rye whiskey, sugar, imeurs and a touch of citrus. This version inspired by fall adds a modern touch by incorporating pumpkin puree and hot spices, creating a perfect drink for the coolest months. The addition of maple syrup as an edulcoator improves the depth of the drink, while a pinch of aromatic imeurs balances the flavors.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) Bourbon – Choose a bourbon with notes of caramel and vanilla to complete the pumpkin flavor.
• 1 tablespoon of pumpkin puree – Use the unwelling pumpkin puree for a natural and authentic flavor.
• 1 teaspoon of maple syrup – Opt for a pure maple syrup to add a subtle sweetness.
• 2 draw aromatic bitters – Angostura Bitters works well to balance sweetness.
• 1 Dash Pumpkin Pie Spice (Optional) – For an additional suspicion of autumn spices.
• Orange mud – For the garnish.
• Cinnamon stick – For the (optional) garnish.

Preparation:

Step 1: In a mixture glass, mix the pumpkin puree and maple syrup. Mix well to make sure the puree is uniformly mixed.

Step 2: Add the bourbon, the bitters and a pinch of pumpkin pie spices if you use. Incorporate the mixture until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 3: Fill the glass mixture glass and stir for about 30 seconds. This will cool the drink and dilute it slightly, which helps soften the flavors.

Step 4: Pass the mixture in a rocky glass filled with a large ice cube.

Step 5: Express the orange bark on the drink, squeezing it slowly to release the oils. Rub the peel around the edge of the glass, then place it in the drink. Garnish with a cinnamon stick if you wish.

Variations:

1. Old -fashioned smoked pumpkin: Add a touch of smoked Scottish whiskey or Mezcal to give the drink a smoked flavor.
2. Old -fashioned spicy rum pumpkin: Replace the bourbon with spicy rum for a softer and more complex flavor.
3. Maple Cinnamon Pumpkin Old Fashioned: Use bourbon infused with cinnamon or add a pinch of ground cinnamon for an additional button.
4. Pumpkin Spice Latte Old Fashioned: Add a touch of cold coffee or espresso to create a caféinée version.

Cooking note

• Pumpkin puree: Make sure you use pure pumpkin puree, not the pumpkin pie garnish, which contains added sugar and spices. If you use homemade pumpkin puree, make sure it is smooth and lumps without lumps.
• Maple syrup: For a deeper flavor, consider using dark amber maple syrup.
• Bitter: Although the aromatic bitters are traditional, do not hesitate to experiment with chocolate or nuts for a different flavor profile.

Suggestion services:

• Glassware: Serve in a rocky glass with a large ice cube to keep the drink cold and reduce dilution.
• Trim: In addition to orange skin, think of the garnish with a cinnamon stick, a star anise or a thin slice of dried orange for an additional touch of elegance.
• PAPPERIAL: This cocktail goes well with seasonal dishes such as roasted squash, pumpkin pie or cold meats with smoked meats and aged cheeses.

Advice:

• Agg vs tremor: The bustle of the drink rather than the tremors ensures that the cocktail maintains a smooth and velvety texture.
• Use fresh ice: Fresh and clean ice improves the presentation and flavor of the drink. Large ice cubes are ideal because they melt more slowly.
• Experience with Bourbon: Try different types of bourbon to see the one you prefer in this cocktail. Some have stronger vanilla and caramel notes, while others are more spicy.
