6 Intriguing Ideas to Spice Up Your Cocktail Routine

Not a baker? No problem! Ken Gray of Ward III developed a "Harvest Moon" bourbon-based cocktail that tastes exactly like pumpkin pie. Shake up Elijah Craig 12-year bourbon, pumpkin puree, grated ginger, lemon juice, brown sugar, and nutmeg to see what we mean.

With wintry months on their way, cocktails with woody herbs should be explored. Mixologist Miguel Aranda of Botanic Lab developed a cocktail that's worth mimicking. He infused Pavan liqueur with rosemary and combined it with Dorothy Parker gin, lemon juice, agave, and a rosemary sprig garnish.

Maxwell Britten of Maison Premiere shook up Strega Liqueur, vodka, lemon juice, egg whites, and ice and strained the foamy cocktail through a mini conical sieve to strain out lemon pulp and egg proteins. The fluffy egg white cap balances the tart beverage and is as fun to drink as a cappuccino.
