Pumpkin Spiced Sugar-Free Syrup Recipe:
Before we dive into the cocktail recipe, let's prepare the star of the show: the Pumpkin Spiced Sugar-Free Syrup. This syrup captures the essence of fall with its delightful blend of warm spices and you can either choose from ready-made versions such as Simply or Monin... OR...you can make your own.
Ingredients for Pumpkin Spiced Sugar-Free Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4-5 whole cloves
- A pinch of nutmeg
- A pinch of allspice
Instructions:
1. In a saucepan, combine water, pumpkin puree, and your sugar substitute over low heat.
2. Add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, nutmeg, and allspice to the mixture.
3. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
4. Once the syrup thickens slightly, remove it from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
5. Let the syrup cool before transferring it to a bottle for storage. It can be refrigerated for up to a month.
Now that we have our delicious Pumpkin Spiced Sugar-Free Syrup, it's time to craft our Halloween-inspired cocktail!

2. Add 50ml of Amaretto, 12.5ml of fresh lemon juice, and 25ml of your Pumpkin Spiced Sugar-Free Syrup to the shaker.

5. Now, it's time for some Halloween magic. Add 2 drops of Miracle Foamers to the top of your cocktail. This will create a spooky layer of foam that floats on the surface.
6. For the final touch, garnish your Pumpkin Spiced Amaretto Sour with an orange twist and a cinnamon stick. The orange twist adds a burst of citrus aroma, and the cinnamon stick provides a dash of warmth.
