Ingredients

2 oz. Matusalem Gran Reserva Rum
3/4 oz. John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum Liqueur
grated fresh nutmeg to garnish

2 oz. Butternut Squash Jus
8lb butternut squash
5 tablespoons brown sugar
5 tablespoons brown butter

Instructions

Make approximately 16 oz. of butternut squash jus by juicing the squash. Simmer juice to reduce by one third, add 5 tablespoons of brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Add 5 tablespoons of brown butter to the juice and refrigerate overnight. Pass through a sieve to remove the butter solids.

Into a cocktail mixer pour 2 oz. of butternut squash and add the remaining ingredients except nutmeg.

Shake and strain into a double rocks glass 3/4 filled with fresh ice cubes.

Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Too sugary

I have tried this recipe and it is AWFUL. I have made a variation that is much less work and much tastier. Do not ruin the butternut squash juice by adding browned butter and brown sugar. Straight juice is much nicer. 4 oz butternut squash juice 1.5 oz Matusalem rum 1.5 oz Velvet falernum 1 oz simlpe syrup, 1:1 ratio infused with whole nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon stick, carmadon, peppercorns Even without the extra sugar this drink is sweet, the rum can be adjusted to account for this. Velvet Falernum is very hard to find so I made my own, do not use non-alcoholic falernum (too much sugar)
