Bols introduces spiced pumpkin flavour in US

Lucas Bols has launched a new seasonal flavour for the North American market, Bols Pumpkin Spice Liqueur, which joins a portfolio of over 30 flavours now available in the US.

Says Lucas Bols master distiller, Piet van Leijenhorst: “BolsPumpkin Spice is a nice blend of fall spices, like nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, roasted nuts, and harvest pumpkin. The finish is smooth and comforting with hints of baked cinnamon and aromatic pumpkin. It is best enjoyed in a seasonal cocktail or alongside your favourite fall dessert after dinner.”

Bols Pumpkin Spice 21% ABV is now available in bars and stores across the States at a RRP of US$11.99 for a 750ml bottle.

6 parts Unsweetened iced tea
