Ingredients
FOR THE COCKTAIL:
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Coffee Liqueur
- 2 oz Pumpkin Spice Cream
FOR THE PUMPKIN SPICE CREAM:
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 4 tablespoons Pumpkin Puree
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
FOR THE COCKTAIL:
- Pour Vodka and Coffee Liqueur into a rocks glass and stir to combine.
- Fill the glass with ice and top with pumpkin spice cream.
- Stir gently to give your drink this spooky, swirly effect!
FOR THE PUMPKIN SPICE CREAM:
- Whisk together all ingredients in a saucepan and heat on the stove over medium heat until steaming.
- Remove from heat and cool for about 5-10 minutes in the fridge before using in your cocktail.
Notes
- Feel free to use any dairy product of your choice to make the cream; however, you’ll need something with a thicker consistency in order for it to float on top of the booze and make swirls in your cocktail.
- Regular sugar is a fine substitute for the maple syrup but will give you a significantly sweeter cream. I created about 7 variations of this potion before settling on this one, which I think actually tastes like pumpkin and has the right level of sweetness without overwhelming the drink.
- This pumpkin spice cream is delicious in coffee, too, so if you’re not a drinker or you have some leftover, use it to make your own faux Pumpkin Spice Lattess at home!
