What’s in a Pumpkin Spice Martini?
A Pumpkin Spice Martini is full of all your seasonal fall favorites. Different liquors are used to achieve this dessert cocktail that is perfect for both Halloween or Thanksgiving!
- Pumpkin Spice Liqueur: There are many different kinds of pumpkin spice liqueur, but for this martini I used Pennsylvania Dutch Pumpkin Spice Liqueur. Peach in color, it’s made with real cream and pumpkin flavoring with hints of spice.
- Vanilla Vodka: Adding vanilla enhances and brings out all the flavors of pretty much anything! It’s so versatile and goes well with contrasting flavors.
- Kahlúa: This liqueur contains rum, sugar and arabica coffee. Often paired with seasonal flavors.
- Butterscotch Schnapps: Brown sugar and butter is combined to achieve this butterscotch flavor.
- Half-and-half: Split if down the middle, equal parts of whole milk and heavy cream. It’s thicker and richer than milk but less thick and creamy than heavy cream.
- Crushed Graham Crackers: If you don’t want to crush up the graham crackers yourself, buy a box of crushed graham crackers! I did! Use it to rim your glass. It’s not just to make your drink look good but it will add some texture and crunch as you sip this tasty cocktail.
- Ground Cinnamon: Sprinkle a little on the top of the cocktail to add that hint of cinnamon spice.
