These days, the term "pumpkin spice" can get a bad rap. Poor cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc...all so warming and wonderful and not deserving of being collectively pigeonholed.
We opt for the phrase "autumn spice" when referring to the spice blend that is used in, well, just about everything at this time of year. One way we especially love to use it is in a delicious tea cocktail that only requires a few simple ingredients and Cabot Trail Cream liqueur.
Fall in Canada can be equally peppered with hot and cold days. As such, this drink can be served hot or cold to suit whatever temperature it happens to be.
