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. (231) 498-5855, thedamshop.com
