Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Sauce

  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Espresso Martini

  • 1½ oz vodka
  • 1½ oz espresso cooled
  • 1 oz pumpkin sauce homemade or storebought
  • 1 oz milk or cream use dairy-free if preferred
  • ½ oz kahlúa or other coffee liqueuer
  • Cinnamon powder and 3 coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

Make the Pumpkin Sauce

  • Add all pumpkin sauce ingredients except the vanilla extract to a small saucepan and turn to medium low heat. Heat gently for 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Allow the pumpkin sauce to cool completely then pour into a jar and keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Make the Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini

  • Add all of the espresso martini ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Close tightly and shake for 30-60 seconds until the outside is frosty.
  • Remove the small cap of the shaker and/or strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a dusting of cinnamon and 3 coffee beans. Enjoy responsibly!

Notes

  • Pumpkin sauce: Use my recipe for a homemade pumpkin sauce here, or use a store bought version. Pumpkin spice syrup will work too.
  • Dairy-free: Use coconut cream or a dairy-free milk of your choice instead.
  • Batching: Because they need to be shaken to achieve the beautiful foam on top, espresso martinis are tricky to batch. The most you can likely fit in your cocktail shaker is 2 drinks. Be patient if making for a crowd.
