So many brandies, so little time… Thanks for the suggestion.

I made this tonight using martini rossi vermouth as it was the only vermouth in the house I am visiting but anxious to try again at home with my own selection of vermouth. Dolin is my house French vermouth but I have an unopened bottle of Noilly Pratt in the cabinet that I have been waiting for someone to suggest I crack open…Happy New Year!

I’ve seen recipes containing pumpkin, but the idea of squash in a cocktail is very off-putting to me, unsightly and grotesque, strictly off my list of interesting things.

Pumpkin spice is another matter altogether, and a much more attractive proposition. Aromatic bitters often include the same spices as pumpkin pies, and the flavors of pumpkin and apple pie spices are often present in Italian sweet vermouths—Boissiere comes to mind.

So perhaps the path I would take is to find cocktails that complement the pie, rather than emulate its flavors exactly. Something long on vermouth and bitters. A Saratoga, perhaps?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Or would something like that just taste too awful? Never had anything like what I’m wondering about, but feel like if anyone would know, you would!

Love it! I gotta get me some brandy, stat. Thanks for sharing, Doug. Your observations, insights, presentation, and introduction to new drinks is much appreciated.

Yes, I think I’m turning into a brandy cocktail kind of guy…
