Pumpkin Spice Flip

1½ ounces Jamaican rum
¾ ounce Pumpkin Spice Orgeat syrup (see box below for recipe)
½ ounce simple syrup
1 teaspoon allspice liqueur
About 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

Shake all ingredients without ice. Add ice, shake and strain into glass. Garnish with grated cinnamon.

Pumpkin Spice Orgeat

1¼ cups sugar
¾ cup pumpkin seeds, lightly roasted with a little salt
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
10 cloves
Dash of allspice
3 ounces pumpkin purée

Combine 1¼ cups water, ¾ cup sugar, pumpkin seeds and spices in saucepan and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add pumpkin purée. Refrigerate overnight.

After 24 hours, strain liquid with fine mesh strainer. Add strained liquid, remaining ½ cup of sugar and ½ cup of water to saucepan. Cook until sugar dissolves and then strain liquid again.

Special thanks to Blair’s sister, Corbin Horton, for the gorgeous floral design. And to Vince Chirico, of Idlewild and Fairweather, for sharing the delicious cocktail recipes.
