Pumpkin Pie Martini Cocktail Recipe
This Pumpkin Pie Martini is the perfect drink for fall gatherings or a cozy night in. With a blend of creamy pumpkin and warm spices, it's sure to be a crowd-pleaser. 🍂🎃
Equipment
- A cocktail shaker is essential to mix all the ingredients smoothly.
- A jigger is handy for measuring precise amounts.
- I also use a strainer to ensure a silky finish when pouring the drink into the glass.
- A martini glass is preferred for serving, but any similar glass will do.
Ingredients
For a cozy Pumpkin Pie Martini, I gather the following ingredients:
- 2 oz vanilla vodka
- 1 oz pumpkin liqueur
- 1 oz Irish cream liqueur
- 1 oz half-and-half
- To enhance the flavor I add a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
- For garnishing I use a cinnamon stick or a dash of nutmeg on top.
This mix gives the drink its rich, creamy texture and signature taste!
Instructions
Crafting the Pumpkin Pie Martini is straightforward.
- First, I fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
- Then, I pour in the vanilla vodka, pumpkin liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and half-and-half.
- After securing the lid, I shake vigorously until well chilled.
- Next, I strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
Finally, for a decorative touch, I garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of nutmeg. Cheers! 🎉
Notes
For a sugar-rimmed glass, I dip the rim into a bit of water or honey and then into a shallow plate of cinnamon sugar.
If a stronger pumpkin taste is desired, I consider adding a teaspoon of canned pumpkin.
For a lighter version, try swapping the half-and-half with almond milk.
