Pumpkin Spice Martini

This festive drink is creamy and refreshing. Made with vodka, hazelnut Frangelico

liqueur, non-dairy milk, and an aromatic pumpkin spice simple syrup, it’s smooth, sweet, and easy to make. With hints of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, this delicious beverage is also rimmed with a graham cracker crust (obviously) and dusted with a pinch of pumpkin spice for good measure.

2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, pumpkin spice syrup, Frangelico, and non-dairy milk. Add ice to fill, then shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into the prepared glass, then sprinkle the top with a pinch of pumpkin spice blend. Serve immediately.

To Make the Pumpkin Spice Syrup:

1. In a measuring cup or small bowl, mix all ingredients together, and whisk to dissolve the sugars. Use immediately, or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Stir before use, in case any settling occurs.

To Make the Pumpkin Spice Blend:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Use as needed to garnish the drink.
