Pumpkin Pie Martini
Enjoy your pumpkin spice latte in the morning, but when the clock strikes 5, it's time for a pumpkin pie martini. This recipe is equal parts fall dessert and cocktail, made with real pumpkin and topped with a dollop of frozen whipped cream that melts into a heavenly foam topping.
The first thing you should do is put your martini glasses in the freezer. Dollops of whipped cream or whipped topping should be frozen once that has set. The latter not only keeps the beverages cold but also gives them a delicious creaminess. Once everything is prepared, combine it in a cocktail shaker, give your arms a 20-second workout, and then strain the concoction into your chilled glasses to finish. a martini with a pumpkin pie flavor.
Though pumpkin spice alcoholic beverages are available, vanilla vodka is far more versatile. When combined with spiced rum, half-and-half, maple syrup, spices, and, of course, pumpkin puree, you get the dessert cocktail effect without spending money on a bottle that will sit in your liquor cabinet collecting dust.
