Chef's Tip


*Canned or homemade pureed pumpkin can be used.

*Leftover pumpkin spice syrup can be kept in a clean jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Syrup can be used to flavour coffees, lattes, and/or teas. Alternatively, it can be drizzled over toast, oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream.

*For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with ginger beer. 

*Make the syrup a few hours or days in advance for ease in preparing the cocktails.
