Pumpkin Sazerac Halloween Cocktail Recipe

PUMPKIN SAZERAC HALLOWEEN COCKTAIL Recipe

The Pumpkin Sazarac cocktail is the perfect Halloween cocktail. Of course, pumpkin spice syrup is a must. And don’t feel bad about adding an ice cube or two to this alcoholic cocktail—it might actually be all the better for it. But for summer and in Greece, I recommend the Greek Sazerac.
