Rachel Corbitt is currently an Anesthesiology resident physician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. She discovered the home cocktail community on Instagram early on during the COVID pandemic, and jumped in with her own contributions (@theresidentmixologist). When she isn’t in the OR, she’s testing out new recipes and trying to find the best lighting in her apartment for cocktail pictures!

directions
For the Fall Spice Syrup
Place brown sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, allspice berries, dried ginger, dried orange peels, freshly ground nutmeg. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Cover and turn heat off to cool for 1 hour. Strain out the solids.
For the Cocktail
Shake everything with ice and strain into a tiki glass or mug with pebble ice. Garnish with cinnamon, lime, and pineapple. Serve with a straw.
Cassia cinnamon sticks are rigid and difficult to break making them ideal for aromatic crafting or for use as flavor-imbuing stirrers for festive beverages.
The smooth round berries of dried allspice are warm and pungent in aroma. As its name suggests allspice is redolent of a mix of spices including clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and juniper.
Special beyond the seasonal fervor, pumpkin pie spice delivers all the aromas and flavors of a kitchen filled with fresh baked goods. Fall For Your Food.
