Pumpkin Spice Burgers

Meet your new favourite fall burger, featuring the unlikely marriage of pumpkin spice and ground pork. The juicy patty is accessorized with warm apple compote, sautéed kale, sharp cheddar and a mustardy maple mayo. If you don’t eat pork, you can swap in ground dark turkey meat.





Pumpkin Spice Harvest Grain Bowl

The warm flavours of pumpkin spice take this autumnal lunch bowl to new levels with succulent salmon, roasted sweet potatoes and peppery arugula. A seedy topping gives it crunch, and a vibrant citrus dressing makes it pop. It’s a fall sweater of a dish.

This spicy three-year-old rum (you might have seen it on Dragons’ Den) is naturally smooth with no added sugar. Try it in a maple-kissed Old Fashioned.

The ginsmith clan at Reid’s adds foraged local botanicals like Myrica gale, plus warming exotic spices to create this gin. Add ginger ale and lime for a spiced Gin Mule.

Spicebox Pumpkin Whisky

Like fall in a bottle, this whisky sips like liquid pumpkin pie, with butterscotch and spice accented by the spicy glow of rye whisky.

Lighten up this refreshing, sparkling pitcher drink by choosing non-alcoholic apple cider or even sparkling apple juice to mix with the wine.

Pumpkin Spice Margarita

Reposado tequila, which already has toasty spices from resting briefly in oak barrels, works beautifully in this recipe.

 






Pumpkin Spice Colada

The “secret ingredient” here is carrot juice. It has an earthy, vegetal flavour similar to pumpkin while the graham cracker crumbs rimmer give this creamy drink a pumpkin pie vibe.
