⭐ When to Make This Drink

This festive fall dessert drink is perfect for serving at a wide array of different events including:

• Dessert drinks
• Fall festivities
• Thanksgiving
• Halloween parties

📖 Variations

Need to substitute a few ingredients or make some flavor variations? Try a few of these ideas out:

• Use pumpkin syrup. Try out 1 ounce of pumpkin simple syrup or pumpkin spice syrup and only 1 tablespoon of pumpkin puree.
• Use spiced rum. You can use a spiced rum and place of the vodka or Goldschlager. It will give you that spicy flavor and a little extra alcohol content.
• Use half and half or heavy cream. Replace the Baileys with half and half, heavy cream, milk or dairy-free alternative to still get the creamy flavor.
• Substitute the vodka. Use regular vodka or whipped cream vodka and place of the vanilla vodka to still maintain a similar flavor. You could also use a cinnamon vodka if you really wanted an extra spicy drink.
• Add extra garnish. Add a doll of whipped cream or a dash of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon or nutmeg to double down on the flavors of this drink.
• Substitute the Baileys. Instead of using regular Baileys, use Bailey’s pumpkin spice to double down on the flavors in this decadent drink.

🥄 Equipment

• Martini glasses
• jigger
• cocktail shaker
• Hawthorne strainer
• bar spoon

📋 Ingredients

• 2 tbs Pumpkin puree
• 2 oz Vanilla vodka
• 1 oz Baileys
• .5 oz Goldschlager
• .5 RumChata
• (optional) rim crushed graham cracker
• Ice

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

Step one

Go ahead and gather everything up including pumpkin puree, vanilla vodka, rumchata, Bailey’s, goldschlager, saucer, crushed graham crackers, simple syrup, tablespoon, jigger, ice, martini glass, cocktail shaker and hawthorn strainer.

Step two

To rim your martini glass, put a thin layer of simple syrup on a saucer. Next to that put a thin layer of crushed graham crackers.

Place the rim of the martini glass in the simple syrup and roll it around until it is covered. Then, place the rim of the martini glass in the crushed graham crackers and do the same so that they cover the rim.

Step three

Add some ice to the cocktail shaker. Then, scoop 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree and add it to the shaker.

Step four

Pour 2 oz of vodka into the jigger and then add that to the shaker.

Step Five

Pour 1 oz of Irish cream into the jigger and then add that to the shaker.

Step Six

Pour .5 oz of Goldschlager into the jigger and then add that to the shaker.

Step Seven

Pour .5 oz of RumChata into the jigger and then add that to the shaker.

Step Eight

Place the lid on the shaker. Then, shake it vigorously for at least 20 to 30 seconds. It’s really important to shake this one extra well to really blend and break up the pumpkin puree.

Once you’re done shaking, remove the top and place a Hawthorne strainer over the cocktail shaker. Then, pour the drink into the martini glass.
