Ingredients

For the shrub

  • 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar

For the cocktail (makes 1 cocktail) -

  • 1.5 oz bourbon
  • 1.5 oz pumpkin shrub
  • 1 teaspoon real maple syrup
  • ginger beer

Instructions

  • To make the shrub
  • Add all ingredients to a glass container (I used a mason jar), seal, and shake to combine. 
  • Put the jar into the fridge for 24 hours. 
  • After 24 hours, shake to recombine and strain the solids through a sieve (it's okay if some of the puree makes its way through). The shrub will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.

To make the cocktail

  • Add bourbon, pumpkin shrub, and maple syrup to a rocks glass.  
  • Stir to combine.
  • Add ice and top with ginger beer.
