Pumpkin Spice Rum Old Fashioned

Sometimes life calls for a good, stiff drink. When it does, reach for this Pumpkin Spice Rum Old Fashioned.

I feel like we can all use a drink now that the election is over. A really strong drink. Who’s with me?

Here, here!

I’m physically incapable of leaving well enough alone. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for keeping it classy, but there’s nothing wrong with a little change. This Spiced Cranberry Rum Old-Fashioned is a prime example that change can be a good thing.

The inspiration for this cocktail came from the bottle of pumpkin spice rum that showed up on my doorstep a few weeks ago. You know you’ve made it in the world when you start receiving booze in the mail. I’m a lucky lady, I know.

This cocktail is all booze and no fluff. Proceed with caution.
