29 October 2018—Halloween is days away and pumpkin season is now in full swing. Philadelphia is full of pumpkin treats to choose from — from a Pumpkin Cranberry boule at Chestnut Hill’s Baker Street Bread Co., to a seasonal cocktail from Bluebird Distilling, and a creamy milkshake courtesy of Joe’s Steaks + Soda Shop.
The Pumpkin Smash from Bluebird Distilling, is, quite simply, boozy pumpkin pie in a glass. The sweet and nutty nature of the White Rye Whiskey makes it a natural combination for more earthy cocktail elements, like pumpkin. The egg white binds the elements together, and brings that creamy texture and mouth-feel of a real piece of homemade pumpkin pie. This cocktail is for sure worth the trip out to the Phoenixville distillery!
