Pumpkin pie vodka cocktails exist, combining your refined autumn self with your basic love of pumpkin spice everything.
The ABSOLUT Pumpkin Mule cocktail is a sort of modern twist on pumpkin pie vodka glory, grown up pumpkin spice, and the perfect accompaniment to just about any cool-weather get together (hello, Halloween and Thanksgiving cocktails, #amirite?). If you want to get wild, try adding a splash of butterscotch schnapps to the mix. And no need to get super fancy here—you can even use one of the best cheap alcohol brands.

Consider pairing with actual pumpkin pie, Thai-inspired chicken satay skewers, seasonal salads, or a selection of dried fruits and dark chocolate. It’s a nice contrast to summery drinks like peach schnapps or watermelon schnapps.
