Pro Tips
- For a sweeter variation, use club soda instead of ginger beer to tone down the bitterness.
- Make your own pumpkin spice syrup for a more robust flavor by simmering pumpkin puree, sugar, and spices.
- If ghost peeps aren’t available, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a small pumpkin candy for a similar festive vibe.

Tasting Notes
The Drunk Pumpkin combines the smoothness of vodka with the warm, spiced notes of pumpkin syrup. The ginger beer adds a slight bitterness, which is balanced by the sweetness of the syrup. The orange food coloring gives it a festive Halloween hue, and the ghost peep adds a fun, sugary finish to the presentation.
