Pumpkin Martini

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1/2 ounce heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 1/2 to 1 ounce pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Graham crackers, for the rim

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rim: Crush a graham cracker with your fingers and place it on a plate.  On another plate, add a small pool of maple syrup.  Run the rim of a martini glass in the maple syrup first, rotating the glass so the rim is evenly coated.  Then roll the rim in the crushed graham crackers until evenly coated.

Step 2: Shake the Drink: Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker.  Add a handful of ice and shake until cold.  Strain the drink into the prepared martini glass.
