PUMPKIN PIE MARTINI INGREDIENTS
My easy pumpkin martini recipe is made with just 5 easy to find ingredients!
- Vanilla vodka
- Pure pumpkin puree
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Maple syrup
- Cream
IS THERE PUMPKIN VODKA?
Yes! There is pumpkin vodka, usually found in your local liquor store around Halloween and Thanksgiving time. I prefer to use vanilla vodka in my pumpkin martini because it can be found in one of my favorite top shelf brands, Grey Goose.
MY TIPS FOR NOT HAVING A HALLOWEEN HANGOVER
- Choose top shelf liquor. Top shelf liquors are ultra filtered making them more pure than cheap liquors. Basically less junk going through your liver.
- This one is pretty obvious.. don't drink too much.
- Take a b complex vitamin. Alcohol uses up a lot of B vitamins, so either before you fall asleep or the next morning, take a B complex vitamin to help your body process the alcohol from your Halloween fun.
- Drink plenty of water. Alcohol also uses up a lot of water. Drink a big glass before bed, and as soon as you get up the next morning to help your liver process the alcohol.
HOW TO MAKE A PUMPKIN PIE MARTINI WITH VANILLA VODKA
Now let's make this delicious pumpkin spice cocktail and let the holiday festivities begin!
This pumpkin martini recipe makes enough for 1 pumpkin martini. I made it for 1 so you can easily adjust it to how many people you are serving!
STEP 1 ADD PUMPKIN MARTINI INGREDIENTS TO A DRINK SHAKER
In a drink shaker, add all of your ingredients:
- 2 shots of vanilla vodka
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (2 if you like it sweeter)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (I also have used my caramel macchiato creamer and it was so good)
STEP 2 SHAKE UNTIL CHILLED
Add a couple ice cubes to your cocktail shaker. Cover and shake until the outside of your cocktail shaker is frosty.
STEP 3 POUR AND ENJOY!
Dab a little maple syrup on the edge of a martini glass. Run the maple syrup along the entire rim so it is very stick. Then, roll the sticky rim into a plate of cinnamon mixed with sugar.
Pour your pumpkin martini into the cinnamon sugar rimmed martini glass.
Cheers! Happy Halloween and Happy Thanksgiving!
