Pumpkin Pie Martini
- 2 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka
- 1 1/2 oz. aged rum
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, plus additional for garnish
- Handful of ice cubes
Instructions
- Chill Glasses: Place 2 martini glasses in the freezer to chill while preparing the cocktail.
- Prepare Frozen Whipped Cream: Line a small sheet tray with parchment or waxed paper. Spoon 2 dollops of whipped topping or whipped cream onto the tray and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes until frozen solid.
- Make the Martini: In a cocktail shaker, combine vanilla vodka, aged rum, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, half-and-half, pumpkin pie spice, and a handful of ice cubes. Cover the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to blend and chill the ingredients thoroughly.
- Serve: Strain the cocktail mixture evenly into the chilled martini glasses. Top each drink with one piece of the frozen whipped cream and sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice over the top for garnish. Serve immediately for best flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use canned or fresh pumpkin puree for best taste; avoid pumpkin pie filling that contains added spices and sugar.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup for sweetness according to your preference.
- If you want a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and rum and increase the half-and-half slightly.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute half-and-half with coconut cream or your preferred non-dairy milk.
- Make sure to chill the glasses for optimal presentation and a crisp drinking experience.
