When you hear “Pumpkin Spice,” do you imagine crisp fall mornings, scented candles, and pie, pie, pie?

Fair enough — it’s a seasonal thing. But the aromatic spices in Pumpkin Spice Proof Syrup taste a lot more Caribbean than Starbucks when mixed with rum, lime juice, and ice in our Grenada daiquiri.

One of our personal favorites, this cocktail is a classic daiquiri with two tweaks that make all the difference, flavor-wise:

  • Aged rum: Light rum is great if that’s what you’ve got, but aged rum is a more flavorful version, with a hint of molasses and a richness that gives your cocktail complexity and depth.
  • Pumpkin Spice Proof Syrup: This syrup’s clove and allspice notes are the perfect aromatic complement to aged and dark rums.

We love this recipe — it’s one of those “you mixed what with what?” cocktails that’s approachable and familiar, yet still tastes like bartending magic.

We didn't think a cocktail syrup — especially one this tasty — could get a rise out of people, but we were wrong. When we first announced it, comments like "Pumpkin spice? Seriously?" and "I'm sooo disappointed in you people" popped up on our social media. Pretty soon we were strategizing how to address the unexpectedly divisive nature of pumpkin spice. 

As it turned out, we didn't need to do a thing, because very quickly it became clear that the reasonable, open-minded people who actually tried Pumpkin Spice Proof Syrup loved it. They raved about it. Every last bottle sold. 

That's because Pumpkin Spice Proof Syrup is ridiculously good. Made from a proprietary tincture we make in-house, oleo saccharum, and classic autumn spices, this syrup delivers a warmly delicious craft cocktail experience every single time. Try it in an Old Fashioned, of course, but also a daiquiri (fantastic!), eggnog, a hot toddy, or any of the other recipes on this page. It tastes like fall, y'all.
