The Pumpkin Mule keeps the mule’s ginger-lime highball and adds a short pour of pumpkin spice syrup. Ginger beer still does most of the work; pumpkin reads as warm spice rather than squash puree. Built over ice, it is an easy fall party drink that does not require a shaker.

Bartender's Note
Use a spicy ginger beer. Half an ounce of syrup is enough; more fights the lime. Bourbon in place of vodka makes a sturdier fall mule.
