Sweet, spicy, creamy and fluffy. This pumpkin-spiced fizz from Saxon + Parole, the now-shuttered New York bar, from former head bartender Masa Urushido gets downright autumnal with this cocktail. It’s a double dose of pumpkin from both pumpkin puree and pumpkin ale. A mix of madeira and dark rum gives it a rich depth of flavor, while egg white elevates it into the airy, frothy stratosphere. Perfect at brunch or as an after-dinner drink. It’s like liquified pumpkin pie.
