I know so many people that love pumpkin.  Pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cake, but how about a drink made with pumpkin?  Why not?  This recipe for pumpkin pie martinis is pretty easy to make and if you love the taste of pumpkin, trust me…you’re gonna love it. 

This recipe only serves one, so feel free to double, triple…well, you get the point.

Here’s what you need:

  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1 ounce of vanilla vodka
  • 1.5 ounces Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1/3 cup half & half
  • 3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (from a can is fine)
  • 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
  • cinnamon and sugar

Here’s what you do:

1. In a shaker combine the  ice, vodka, Bailey’s, half & half, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Shake vigorously until chilled.
2. Use a napkin to wet the rim of a martini glass. Combine equal parts cinnamon and sugar on a plate. Roll the rim in the mixture.
3.  Pour the martini in to the prepared martini glass and sprinkle with more pumpkin pie spice (if desired).

Enjoy!

  1. I love pumpkin anything, but not sure about this….but of course I want to try it.

    Can I use reg vodka and a splash of vanilla?

  2. What a great idea. I will pass this one along to the house bartender (my husband). He loves to impress guests with drinks like this!

  3. I’m not a big martini fan since they’re so strong but this sounds really good!

  4. I am going to have to pass on this drink and stick to pumpkin muffins.

  5. Hi,
    We moved away from Wilbraham, Ma years ago but I miss it terribly! We’re in Houston now where the highs will be in the high ’90′s today. Ugh. Enjoy the fall weather.

  6. I’ve never drank a Halloween drink like that! My friends are hosting a Halloween party and I’ll have to pass this recipe along! Sounds a bit more festive than the usual beer, wine and vodka tonics!
