Spiced Pumpkin Pie Martini with Whipped Cream
Nothing beats a seasonal cocktail that captures autumn in a glass. Now you can enjoy pumpkin pie flavors as a sophisticated martini. This spiced version comes together quickly for instant holiday cheer.
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka (I prefer premium for smoother sipping)
- 1 oz pumpkin puree (canned works perfectly – no need for fresh)
- 1 oz heavy cream (full-fat creates the richest texture)
- 3/4 oz maple syrup (the real stuff makes all the difference)
- 1/2 oz coffee liqueur (this adds wonderful depth)
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (homemade blend if you have it)
- Pinch of sea salt (just a touch balances the sweetness)
- Whipped cream for garnish (I always make extra for topping)
- Graham cracker crumbs for rimming (crush them fine for better adhesion)
Instructions
- Place your cocktail shaker in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill thoroughly – a cold shaker makes for a better mixed drink.
- Run a lemon wedge around the rim of your martini glass to moisten it evenly.
- Spread graham cracker crumbs on a small plate and press the glass rim into them to coat completely.
- Combine vodka, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, maple syrup, coffee liqueur, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt in your chilled shaker.
- Fill the shaker three-quarters full with ice cubes – using larger cubes prevents over-dilution.
- Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into your prepared martini glass to catch any pumpkin bits.
- Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, creating a peak in the center.
- Dust lightly with additional pumpkin pie spice for visual appeal and extra aroma.
Zesty spice notes mingle beautifully with the smooth pumpkin base, creating a dessert-like texture that’s surprisingly light. The graham cracker rim provides satisfying crunch against the creamy cocktail. Serve these immediately while frosty, perhaps with extra whipped cream on the side for those who want an even more indulgent treat.
