The DAM Shop’s Pumpkin Spice White Russian
Bottoms Up!
By Anna Faller | Oct. 7, 2023
Empty tank after a day on the river? The DAM Shop in Elk Rapids has you covered. Opened in 2021, this marine pro store turned local hotspot has expanded to include an on-site food truck, craft espresso, and even a rotating cocktail lineup…complete with a twinkly outdoor patio! This fall, our go-to pick-me-up is the Pumpkin Spice White Russian ($9). Dreamed up as part of the bar’s autumn menu, this drink layers your choice of vodka (we love a local pick, like High Five Spirits), with Kahlua and house-made pumpkin puree. It’s spiked with maple syrup, baking spices, and just a touch of warm vanilla. Served over ice and topped with cream, this decadent cocktail is dessert in a glass! Stop in for a nightcap or grab dinner first (don’t sleep on the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich!)—either way, you’ll leave fully fueled. Find The DAM Shop at 118 Bridge Street in Elk Rapids.
