    About This Recipe

    Pumpkin Spice Martini is a delicious cocktail loaded with fall and winter flavors. It is creamy, rich, mildly sweet, and smooth and comes together in under 5 minutes.

    It is made using fall essentials like Pumpkin Puree, Pumpkin Spice, and Bailey’s and is a perfect drink to get warm and cozy.

    Make this martini with pumpkin spice for your holiday get-togethers and house parties.

    This pumpkin vodka martini is the perfect cocktail to serve for thanksgiving dinners too. Make it while pumpkin season lasts and make the cocktail hour super fun.

    Ingredients

    Pumpkin spice martini ingredients 1

    Pumpkin – Use canned pumpkin puree or make it home using my easy Homemade Pumpkin Puree Recipe.

    Pumpkin Pie Spice – Make it at home using my easy recipe or buy a jar.

    Sugar Syrup – You can also use sweeteners like maple syrup, or sugar-free substitutes.

    Pumpkin Spice Syrup is also a great solution. Make sure to skip adding additional pumpkin spice to the recipe if using pumpkin spice syrup in place of simple syrup.

    Bailey’s – The Irish cream adds a rich and creamy flavor to this fall cocktail.

    You can replace it with Pumpkin Spice Liqueur or Rumchata. Keep in mind to reduce the pumpkin pie spice quantity in the recipe as these two have already added spices.

    Vodka – The base of this pumpkin martini recipe is vodka. I used plain vodka but you can buy any flavors that go well with the pumpkin spice like vanilla vodka or whipped cream vodka.

    Vanilla – Use a good quality vanilla extract for the best taste.

    Pumpkin Spice martini Rimming Ingredients.

    For Rimming – Rim the serving glasses with maple syrup, castor sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.

    Whipped Cream – It is optional but I like to garnish my drink with just a dollop of whipped cream.

    How To Make Pumpkin Spice Martini

    Rim The Glass

    Start by rimming the serving glass.

    Mix together ½ cup castor sugar and 2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice on a shallow plate.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Do not skip rimming the glass. With every sip you take, the spices from the rimming will make autumn flavors burst in your mouth.

    Use martini glasses to serve the drink. It has a large rim and you can enjoy the spiced sugar throughout your drink.

    Chilling the glasses before pouring the cocktail makes sure the drink stays chilled for a longer time.

    Use the leftover spiced sugar (rimming sugar) in your coffee or tea.

    This cocktail recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.

    Graham Cracker Rim – You can also rim the cocktail glass with graham cracker crumbs. Powder a few graham crackers in a grinder. Brush the glass rim with maple syrup and then coat with the crumbs.
