About this Pumpkin Martini recipe

This Pumpkin Martini is delightful, easy to make, and made from easy-to-find ingredients. I loved the creaminess; it resembles a Baileys but uses dark rum, real pumpkin puree, and heavy cream.

Pumpkin Martini Ingredients

Recipe Ingredients

Vodka – A neutral spirit that provides the perfect base for this cocktail, letting the pumpkin and spice flavors shine. Feel free to use vanilla or caramel-flavored vodka for extra warmth.

Dark Rum – Adds depth and richness, enhancing the fall spices and adding a hint of molasses-like sweetness that pairs well with pumpkin.

Maple Syrup – I love using maple for fall recipes; this natural sweetener provides an earthy and cozy touch.

Heavy Cream – Needed to achieve a creamy and rich drink.

Pumpkin Puree – I’ve used real pumpkin puree for this recipe, but feel free to use canned pumpkin if desired.

Vanilla Extract – Only a touch is needed. Omit it if using vanilla-flavored vodka.

Pumpkin Pie Spice – The most popular fall spice blend, adding cozy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves that make the drink truly taste like pumpkin pie.

Graham Cracker Crumbs – Perfect to rim the glass and evoke the pumpkin pie crust.

Whipped Cream – There’s no pumpkin pie anything without whipped cream.

How to make a Pumpkin Pie Martini

Place all the ingredients, except the whipped cream and crushed cookies, in a cocktail shaker. Shake well.

Moisten the rims of the glasses with maple syrup (or another option if you prefer) and press the crushed cookies onto the rim like a mojito.

Pour the drink into a martini glass and top with whipped cream. Then sprinkle some pumpkin spice or cinnamon on top.

Enjoy!

Recipe Pro Tips!

How long does canned pumpkin last after opening?

Once opened, canned pumpkin usually lasts about 5 to 7 days in the fridge. Make sure to transfer the pumpkin puree to a clean, covered container to keep it fresh and safe to eat.

For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just portion it out into containers or Ziploc bags, label them with the date, and it’ll be ready to use in recipes later on. Make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before use.
