To make this cocktail, you’ll need 1 1/2 ounces bourbon whiskey, 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier, 2 tablespoons fresh pumpkin puree, and 1-ounce maple syrup.

Combine the whiskey, Grand Mariner, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a tall glass filled with ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, and serve chilled. You could also add a pinch of allspice or cinnamon to the pumpkin puree that’ll give your cocktail a lovely aroma of the warm spices.

This cocktail actually tastes like pumpkin pie with warm flavors from the pumpkin liqueur, which blends in fabulously with the slightly sweet notes of vanilla vodka and cream liqueur. To make this drink, you’ll need 2 ounces vanilla vodka, 1/2 ounce cream liqueur, 1 tablespoon pumpkin liqueur.

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake together the vodka and cream liqueur. Add in the pumpkin liqueur and shake well once more. Strain the cocktail and serve in a cocktail glass, garnished with a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
