Cozy Up with a Pumpkin Spice Moscow Mule: A Fall-Inspired Cocktail Recipe

As the leaves start to change color and the air becomes crisp, it's the perfect time to introduce some seasonal flavors into your cocktail repertoire. Our Pumpkin Spice Moscow Mule recipe is a delightful twist on the classic drink, incorporating the rich, comforting flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon. This recipe is not only delicious but also visually appealing, especially when served in a stylish steel Moscow Mule mug. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz vodka (opt for pumpkin spice flavored vodka for an extra kick)
• 3 tbsp pumpkin puree (ensure it’s pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
• 4 oz ginger beer
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus a pinch for garnish

Garnish:

• Cinnamon stick
• Slice of lime
• Star anise (optional)

Equipment:

• Steel Moscow Mule mug
• Cocktail shaker

Instructions:

1. Chill Your Mug: Begin by placing your steel Moscow Mule mug in the freezer for about 15 minutes. A chilled mug will keep your cocktail delightfully frosty from the first sip to the last.

2. Combine Ingredients: In your cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, pumpkin puree, lime juice, and ground cinnamon. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well-combined and smooth.

3. Prepare the Mug: Remove the mug from the freezer and fill it with ice cubes to the brim.

4. Assemble the Drink: Strain the shaken mixture over the ice in your mug, filling it about halfway.

5. Top with Ginger Beer: Slowly pour the ginger beer over the pumpkin mixture to preserve its lively fizz and gently stir to integrate all the flavors.

6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a cinnamon stick, a slice of lime, and if you’re feeling extra festive, a star anise. Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon over the top for a fragrant, spicy finish.

7. Enjoy: Your Pumpkin Spice Moscow Mule is ready to enjoy! This drink is perfect for sipping by the fire or serving at your fall gatherings.

Why a Steel Moscow Mule Mug? Using a steel Moscow Mule mug not only enhances the presentation but also keeps your drink colder longer, making every sip as refreshing as the first. The metallic contrast with the rich orange hue of the pumpkin creates a visually appealing drink that's perfect for autumn.

Perfect Pairings: This cocktail pairs wonderfully with fall-inspired appetizers like butternut squash soup shots or mini pumpkin pies. It’s also a great accompaniment to a Thanksgiving dinner, offering a festive and flavorful start to the meal.
