Pumpkin season doesn’t have to stop at lattes and desserts. This cozy, fall-ready cocktail proves pumpkin deserves a place in your glass, too. Enter: the Pumpkin Spice Flip.

Inspired by Naren Young’s riff on the “Great Pumpkin,” our version swaps pumpkin butter for maple butter and combines bourbon, amaretto, pumpkin ale, and a whole egg for that signature silky texture.

Bourbon brings warm, caramel-rich depth, while amaretto adds a subtle nuttiness that plays perfectly with the pumpkin spice flavors. A touch of agave rounds out the sweetness, and a splash of pumpkin ale adds just enough effervescence to keep things from feeling too heavy. Finish it with freshly grated nutmeg, and you’ve got autumn in a glass.

Whether you’re kicking off spooky season, mixing drinks for Halloween night, or just craving something cozy by the fire, the Pumpkin Spice Flip is a festive way to raise a glass to fall.
