I’m not a whiskey girl usually… but I’d put money on this Pumpkin Patch Sour becoming your new favorite fall cocktail. 🍂✨

It’s cozy, frothy, and just creamy enough that it feels like fall in a coupe glass. Think: a pumpkin spice latte’s more grown-up, mischievous cousin.

🎃Pumpkin Patch Sour Recipe🎃
1 oz Buffalo Trace whiskey (or your favorite whiskey)
1 tbsp pumpkin purée
0.5 oz lemon juice
0.75 oz maple syrup
1 egg white
Pinch pumpkin spice

Method:

1. Whisk egg white to soft peaks.
2. Add whiskey, lemon juice, maple syrup, pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice + egg white to shaker with ice.
3. Shake until chilled and combined.
4. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
5. Garnish with a pinch of pumpkin spice.

This is a fall cocktail recipe that feels luxe, seasonal, and surprisingly easy to make at home. The egg white gives you that silky bar-foam texture without needing fancy tools, while the pumpkin + maple make it taste like October in a glass.

Would you try this?!! 👀 Or are you sticking to cider + mulled wine this season?

Save this recipe to your fall drink board 🍁, share it with your PSL-obsessed friend 🎃, or DM it to your partner as a hint for your next cozy date night.

Double Layer Halloween Cookies 🎃🍪 (aka sugar cookie stuffed chocolate chip cookies!) — the easiest cozy fall baking hack. Perfect for Hocus Pocus movie night, Halloween parties, or just spooky season snacking.

How to Make:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop chocolate chip cookie dough and bake for 8 minutes (about half the time).

Pull out of oven, gently press one Pillsbury Halloween sugar cookie (pumpkin/ghost/cat design) into the center of each half-baked cookie.

Return to oven and bake according to the sugar cookie package directions (usually 10–12 more minutes).

Let cool, then enjoy warm, gooey, double-layer Halloween cookies!

This easy recipe combines the best of both worlds — chewy chocolate chip cookies with festive sugar cookies baked right inside. Save this for your next Halloween movie night or fall baking day.
