Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini 🎃🍁

I’ve been on a bit of a drink experimentation hiatus. We have been going through a kitchen remodel so it has been chaotic to say the least. But now I have a beautiful new space to concoct new, delicious cocktails for you!!! This cocktail has all of the fall vibes and I’ll be serving it at our Thanksgiving celebration 🦃 If you love all things pumpkin spice this one is for you. If you are anti pumpkin spice you can eliminate the pumpkin ingredients and it would still be quite delish. And of course, both versions are a lot lower in sugar than your average espresso martini 🙌🏼

So here’s whatcha need:

🎃 1.5 oz of Vanilla INFUSED vodka. It’s important that it’s infused because if it is just flavored it usually has a decent amount of sugar in it. I used Vanilla Infused Smirnoff.

🎃 3 oz of LIGHT Bailey’s. Yes! There is a light version now! (even though mine is better ☺️)

🎃 2 shots of espresso

🎃 2-3 Tablespoons of pumpkin puree (canned)

🎃 3 pumps of sugar free syrup. Any flavor is fine but pumpkin flavor is obviously ideal. I’ve used vanilla too.

🎃 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

For the rim: (this is optional)

🎃 1 tsp of Truvia

🎃 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice

Directions: Combine the Truvia & pumpkin spice on a small plate for the rim of your glass. Run a wet paper towel around the rim of your martini glass & run the rim through the mixture. Set your glass aside. Pour the Vanilla Infused vodka, Light Bailey’s, espresso, pumpkin puree & sugar free syrup into a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously to combine the ingredients well (about 20-30 seconds). Then add a scoop of ice to the shaker & shake again for another 20 seconds. Strain your ingredients into your martini glass & enjoy!!! 🥂
