Even if you’ve never made your own booze before, this Instant Pot Pumpkin Spiced Bourbon is a wonderful way to begin.

Delicious and perfect for Fall, this homemade infused bourbon is a great way to add spirit to every Autumn occasion from Halloween to potlucks to Thanksgiving dinner!

Infuse some bourbon with some delicious pumpkin spice flavor

My favorite thing about this recipe is that you aren’t really making alcohol from scratch – which can be a pretty complicated endeavor. Rather, you are just cooking up some scrumptious pumpkin-spiced flavors to combine with spiced bourbon.

You can actually drink it right after you make it, but if you let it age for a while, the flavors will deepen and mellow into something amazing.

And believe me, people will be all kinds of impressed when they find out that you made this infused Bourbon yourself. It’s just that good!

This recipe makes enough bourbon to fill FIVE pint-sized canning jars. But if you love bourbon, you may want to consider doubling the recipe right from the start.

Not only is this Instant Pot Pumpkin Spiced Bourbon a festive treat to share with your holiday guests, but it also makes a great gift, too!

Make it a Mocktail instead

How to make Pumpkin Spiced Infused Bourbon with your Pressure Cooker

Set on Saute mode, let pot heat up stirring occasionally.

Once sugars are dissolved place lid on.

Once the batch has cooled completely add in the Bourbon.

Pour mixture into jars & put a cinnamon stick to each jar. Put the lids on & tighten.
