Ingredients
For the martini rim:
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- maple syrup (for dipping the rim)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 graham cracker (crushed finely)
For the martini:
- a pinch pumpkin pie spice
- 3 ice cubes
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 fl oz half-and-half (for creaminess)
- 1 fl oz dark rum (such as Meyer’s Dark Rum)
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree (I use Libby’s pumpkin puree)
- 2 fl oz pumpkin spice vodka
- 1 fl oz maple syrup
For the garnish:
- pumpkin pie spice
- whipped cream
- cinnamon stick
Step 1: Prepare the Martini Glass Rim
Begin by crushing graham crackers in a resealable bag or a food processor until they resemble sand.
Stir in pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Next, dip the rim of a martini glass into maple syrup.
For a neat application, dip a thick napkin into the maple syrup and use the napkin to apply the syrup to the rim of the glass.
Roll the syrup-coated rim in the graham cracker mix until fully covered.
Set the prepared glass aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Martini
In a cocktail shaker, combine ice with vodka, rum, pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice if using.
Shake vigorously until the shaker is chilled to the touch.
Add in the cream and gently swirl or stir to combine the ingredients.
This ensures a creamy, well-mixed cocktail.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish
Strain and pour the prepared cocktail into the graham cracker-rimmed martini glass.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice and/or nutmeg for added flavor and presentation.
Enjoy your festive Pumpkin Spice Martini!
