Cocktail

Pumpkin Spice Rum Alexander

A silky, autumnal twist on the classic Alexander — this cocktail weaves together the warmth of spiced pumpkin, the nutty depth of roasted almonds, and the gentle hum of dark rum. Perfect for firelight evenings and golden-leaf days.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz dark rum (a rich, aged one works beautifully)
  • 1 oz crème de cacao blanc
  • 1 oz double cream (or oat cream for a dairy-free version)
  • 1 oz pumpkin purée (smooth and lightly sweetened)
  • 1/2 oz maple syrup
  • 2 dashes roasted almond bitters
  • 1 pinch pumpkin spice 
  • 1 Star Anise for garnish
  • Ice

Directions

1. Chill your glass in the freezer — we used our Sipping Glass for this one but you can use any coupe or small martini glass.

2. Shake the base — in a cocktail shaker, combine rum, crème de cacao, cream, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, roasted almond bitters, and pumpkin spice.

3. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until frothy and cold.

4. Strain into the chilled glass through a fine mesh sieve for perfect smoothness.

Finish with grace — pour over a single ice cube and garnish with a star anise
