Pumpkin Martini
-
2 Tbsp finely crushed graham crackers (for the rim)
-
1 Tbsp granulated sugar (for the rim)
-
1 + ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
-
1 + ½ oz. vanilla vodka
-
1 + ½ oz. Irish cream liqueur (plus more for rimming)
-
1 + ½ Tbsp pumpkin purée
-
Cinnamon stick (for garnish)
-
In a small dish, combine the finely-crushed graham crackers, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice — mixing it into an even consistency.
-
Pour a bit of Irish cream into a second small dish. Rim a cocktail glass by dipping the rim into the Irish cream, then rolling it in the graham cracker mixture. Tap off any excess and place the glass in the freezer for a quick chill.
-
In a cocktail shaker, pour the vanilla vodka, Irish cream, pumpkin purée, the remaining ½ teaspoon of pumpkin spice, and ice. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds.
-
Strain the drink into the prepared cocktail glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
