Pumpkin Pie Martini

Embrace the spirit of autumn with the Pumpkin Pie Martini – a symphony of fall ingredients such as spiced real pumpkin, cream, and a dash of maple syrup. Elevate your taste buds to a whole new level of seasonal bliss with this easy fall cocktail.

What is a Pumpkin Pie Martini?

A Pumpkin Pie Martini is a delectable concoction that captures the very essence of autumn in a glass or Pumpkin Pie in a glass. This irresistible elixir is crafted with a blend of premium vodka and rum, providing a smooth and spirited base that’s sure to warm your soul.

Then, it’s infused with the velvety richness of cream, adding a luxurious touch to every sip. The star of the show, of course, is the pumpkin puree, which infuses the cocktail with that unmistakable seasonal charm. To sweeten the deal, a drizzle of maple syrup is added, enhancing the drink with a delightful sweetness that complements the earthy pumpkin notes beautifully.

And finally, a dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice is sprinkled in, infusing the martini with the warm, aromatic flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Each sip is like a cozy hug from autumn itself, making it the perfect libation to celebrate the season with passion and flair.

Ingredients Needed

• Pumpkin Pie Spice – Pumpkin pie spice in the Pumpkin Pie Martini brings warm autumn flavors like cinnamon and nutmeg. If you don’t have any you can easily make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice or use this guide to find a Pumpkin Pie Spice Substitute.
• Vodka – Vodka is the key spirit. However, for a unique twist, you can also opt for a flavored vodka variation, like pumpkin pie vodka, to infuse even more seasonal charm into your cocktail.
• Dark Rum – You’ll need dark rum to add depth and complexity to the cocktail’s flavor profile, balancing the sweet and spicy pumpkin notes with its rich, robust undertones.
• Maple Syrup – Maple Syrup serves as a natural sweetener, imparting a delightful sweetness that harmonizes with the pumpkin puree and complements the cocktail’s overall flavor. If you don’t have any you can use a Maple Syrup Substitute as well.
• Pumpkin Puree – The pumpkin puree provides the drink with its signature pumpkin flavor and a creamy, velvety texture, evoking the essence of a classic pumpkin pie. Be sure to get the puree and not pumpkin pie mix.

How to Make a Pumpkin Pie Martini

1. Add the ingredients to a shaker. Add some ice to a cocktail shaker and pour the vodka, rum, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice in.
2. Shake and strain. Shake vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into a martini glass.
3. Add the whipped cream. You can prepare your own Whipped Cream or use store-bought and pipe it directly on top. To flash-free the whipped cream (which will allow it to float in your glass) place two scoops of the whipped topping onto a small baking sheet or cutting board and place it in the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Strain for a smooth texture. Achieve martini perfection with a silky-smooth texture. To create the smoothest Pumpkin Martini, I highly recommend straining the martini as you pour it into your glass.
• Chill your glass. A chilled glass keeps the cocktail colder for longer, preventing premature warming, and also adds a delightful frosty touch to the velvety drink.
• Make a large batch for a crowd. If you’re hosting a gathering, you can batch the ingredients in advance and serve your Pumpkin Pie Martinis in a pitcher, allowing guests to help themselves. Just give the drink a good stir before pouring it into your glass.
• Garnish the rim. Coat the rim of your glass in Simple Syrup or Maple Syrup and then dredge it into some graham cracker crumbs or brown sugar. You can also add a cinnamon stick or a dusting of Pumpkin Pie Spice.
