SPICED PUMPKIN COCKT-ALE

(Makes two drinks)

Every Friday, the editors of Love& share what they will be imbibing over the weekend. From fancy-schmancy seasonal specialties to the easiest cocktail hacks, we’ve got you covered

Fall for this autumn cocktail the day before Halloween.

With the ubiquity of pumpkin beers on the shelves today, this cocktail is a breeze to whip up. Use a bolder pumpkin beer such as Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin or Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale. Use a Rye Whiskey for the spiciness. The best part is you can use the rest of the beer as a chaser. (Or make 2 more cocktails!)

4 oz Pumpkin Ale

2 oz Rye (such as Templeton)

2 oz Spiced Rum

1 oz Real Maple Syrup

1 Egg White

Cinnamon for Garnish

Combine the first four ingredients in a shaker and stir. Add the egg white and dry shake (without ice) vigorously. Add ice, then shake again for 30 seconds.

Pour into a highball glass with ice. Add a cinnamon stick or sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.
