Delicious seasonal tipples
Autumn is in sight, which mean it’s almost pumpkin spice season. If you’ve never tried it before, the name can be misleading: pumpkin spice doesn’t actually involve pumpkin at all, but rather the spices commonly used in pumpkin pie. These typically include warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. If you’d like to sip on a seasonal tipple, here the experts at NIO Cocktails share three pumpkin spice cocktails to try now.
Pumpkin Spice Cocktail Recipes
Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned
‘Add a modern touch to the classic Old Fashioned by dipping the rim of your glass in sugar and pumpkin spice to allow every sip of the cocktail to have a pumpkin punch to it,’ say NIO Cocktails. ‘The pumpkin spice will work well with the spicy flavours of the whiskey, echoing the aromas to create even more flavour to enjoy.’
How To
‘To make your own pumpkin spice at home, simply mix three tablespoons of ground cinnamon with two teaspoons of ground ginger and 2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg. Then add one and a half teaspoons of ground allspice and one and a half teaspoons of ground cloves and mix, before dipping the rim of your glass in.’

How To

Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini
‘Pumpkin spice has been a popular addition to people’s morning coffees, making an Espresso Martini the perfect choice to add a dash of pumpkin flavour to,’ says NIO Cocktails.
