What is a Tipsy Pumpkin Cocktail?
This fun little concoction is a whole different cocktail on it’s own, but the closest thing I can compare it to is a Moscow Mule. Instead of ginger beer, pumpkin beer takes the spotlight. Vanilla vodka sweetly swirls in with pumpkin beer and the addition of spiced apple cider takes this drink over the top. If you would like, it can even be served in a copper mug!
Like the Moscow Mule, this drink is slightly fizzy, packs a punch and is loaded full of flavor. It goes down smooth!

Pumpkin Beer
Pumpkin beer is seasonal and can typically be found in at local liquor stores, grocery stores or even Trader Joe’s! If you can’t find pumpkin beer, Oktoberfest beer is a good substitute! The goal is to use a seasonal beer that is loaded full of Fall flavors.
Personally, I loved how mild the Pumpkin beer was. Slightly sweet flavor to it from the pumpkin and warm spices. And the fizz. You just can’t beat it!

A cozy cocktail is perfect for this time of the year. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I can’t think of a better drink for the occasion! Have all the ingredients sitting out for guests to build their own (a cocktail bar), or make a large batch and serve in a punch bowl! Guests could ladle their drink, top with a few cranberries and a warm cinnamon stick and get to sipping. Count me in!
This cocktail surprised me with how delightful it is. Slightly fizzy, sweet, spiced and everything nice!
