Pumpkin Spice Vodka Soda is the Only Way to Get Drunk This Season

Listen, we’re all friends here, so let’s be honest with each other. You love pumpkin spice shit. It’s okay, I do too. So stop lying to yourself and hop on this recipe immediately. The important part here is really the pumpkin spice simple syrup, AKA the life-giving elixir of fall. You can use the syrup wherever you’d typically use liquid sweetener — like in coffee drinks (duh), mixed into oatmeal, and even brushed between cake layers. But the real trick is to use it in your booze.

You can be fancy as f*ck and make a margarita (like the one at Broadway Bites last year that blew our minds), go the boozy-PSL route, or put in minimal effort and make this vodka soda. You’ll get the same results no mater how you use it: pumpkin spice wasted.
