Pumpkin Martini Recipe

Halloween was last week, but the pumpkin flavors are still going strong.  

I love most things pumpkin. :) So when I saw this Pumpkin Martini recipe on the Total Wine & More’s newsletter, I knew I had to try it.

Wow! Sweet is the first, second, and third word I would use to describe this sip-able drink. 

It is still pretty warm here in Georgia, so when we made these the whipped cream started melting super fast. 

It was still a fun drink to sip while watching the leaves fall from the trees.  I think I would have enjoyed it a bit more if it wasn’t so warm outside. 

-VERY sweet 

-light pumpkin flavor

-smooth mix of liqueurs, nothing stood out as too strong

-thick - a little thinner than, but similar to drinking a cup of eggnog

I liked these Pumpkin Martinis. I think as sweet as they are, I could only drink one and be finished. But it was a fun dessert type drink and absolutely perfect for this time of year. 

Pumpkin Martinis

-1 oz vanilla vodka

-1 oz pumpkin liqueur

-1 oz Irish cream liqueur

-Ice

-Dash of cinnamon and nutmeg

-Whipped Cream (I love the canned cream)

1) Mix vanilla vodka, pumpkin liqueur, and Irish cream liqueur together in a shaker with ice.  

2) Pour into a martini glass. 

3) Squirt or spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top.

4) Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.

5) Sip away! 

Cheers!
