The Fall Back
As an avid gambler, stock trader, and experienced human being, I’m quite familiar with the worn old adage, “It’s better to be lucky than good.” Again we see luck prevail over talent as I present the first (and only?) cocktail based on my pumpkin spiced bourbon: the Fall Back.
The Fall Back - Served in a Promotional Vodka Glass
There’s nothing overly dynamic in this drink recipe. The flavors compliment one another in a way that is familiar to one’s palate in the autumn. The result is simple and comforting, without being overly sweet. Sorority girls beware.
The Fall Back
2.5 oz. Pumpkin Spiced Bourbon
1/4 oz. Cointreau
1/4 oz. Maple Syrup
3 shakes Regans’ Orange Bitters No. 6
Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Flame an orange zest over the drink and float it on top.
Drink these up quickly, though. By the time January rolls on in, you’ll be ready to shelve All Things Pumpkin for another nine months.

i thought the pumpkin spice bourbon was a good idea, but now i have to make some because this drink sounds really good. my wife says she’ll make the pumpkin pie if i make the bourbon. sounds like a deal to me.

@Philbanks: Ah, yes, the pie recipe, as referenced at the end of the pumpkin spice bourbon post, is dangerous. Be careful with it. It tastes like jet fuel. Not even whipped cream or vanilla ice cream can tame the toxicity! I’d actually suggest cutting it with some untainted pumpkin puree, as unadventurous as that sounds.

“Sorority Girls Beware…” Is Lent around or something?!? LOL

@Mike: Contrary to classic believe, Lent’s threat level has diminished significantly in the past ten (10) years.

@Mark: I really do need evidence of this. His level of tenacious predation is legendary.
