Brown sugar syrup is easy to make at home by combining ½ cup brown sugar with ½ cup hot water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and cool the syrup completely before using. Learn more on my Brown Sugar Syrup page.
If you make this swap, the ginger beer flavor will overwhelm the pumpkin. Ginger ale is used in this cocktail to get the right balance of flavor.
This cocktail only uses 5 ingredients, so fresh juice will make a big difference here. Squeeze a lemon for this cocktail. You should need about ½ of a fresh lemon.
