What Can I Use Instead of Pumpkin Vodka?

This recipe uses pumpkin flavored vodka which you can find in liquor stores from a number of brands.

If you can’t find this vodka or you are looking to make this cocktail out of season, you have a few options:

Option 1:

Use pumpkin flavored syrup with plain vodka. I would use 1 tablespoon instead of the honey as the syrup is pretty sweet. 

Option 2

Use pumpkin pie spice instead of the pumpkin vodka.
