Celebrate Fall with a Pumpkin Pie Moscow Mule – my twist on the classic cocktail with pumpkin and warm Autumn spices!

Pumpkin Pie Moscow Mule from LoveandConfections.com #PumpkinWeek

Welcome to #PumpkinWeek 2017!! I can’t believe what started as a small gathering of bloggers wanting to celebrate their love of this fabulous Fall flavor has turned into such a great event year after year. What started off with 17 bloggers and 65 recipes has turned into 35 bloggers and 105 recipes, 4 years later. As usual, I like to start off my week-long celebrations with a cocktail, and this Pumpkin Pie Moscow Mule does not disappoint!

Within the past couple of years, I have jumped on the Mule bandwagon. Aside from the fact that drinking out of a copper mug is awesome, I really do love all the flavors in it. Now, sometimes they are a bit more gingery or limey depending on the recipe or bartender, but since it is quite different than my usual fruity/sweet cocktail order, I like to try them at restaurants or bars.

This recipe does not use lime, but the ginger beer I used had a hint of lime. It’s all about personal preference, and this recipe can easily be made for two or to serve a crowd. The Pumpkin Pie Simple Syrup is enough for quite a few drinks. I am actually saving some for another pumpkin-inspired cocktail coming soon.

I started the syrup with both granulated and dark brown sugars. The rich molasses flavor from the dark brown sugar complements the spices, but I also didn’t want it to be too overbearing. When mixed together, the whole drink is warming and delicious. You can probably even use a flavored vodka (caramel, pumpkin, or apple pie) or to really give it a punch, some bourbon.

I love playing around with different flavor Moscow Mules, and even created a Berry Basil Moscow Mule this past Summer. October has me craving pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and all those lovely warm spices that feel like Fall. Since it isn’t quite sweater-weather yet, I am definitely enjoying this Moscow Mule that is cool, refreshing, and tastes like Fall in a glass. Cheers!
