Shake it up for yourself or grab a few friends and make it for your next happy hour. Either way, you’re going to love it!
Ingredients for the Pumpkin Spice Latte Martini
Vodka: You can use your preferred brand of vodka. I used Tito’s Vodka for this recipe which is my go-to vodka to mix with.
Coffee liqueur: For this cocktail, I used Kahlua which gives the perfect balance of that delicious, mellow coffee taste.
Pumpkin purée: pick up a can of pumpkin puree from your local grocery store to add to this recipe. It doesn’t matter what brand you use.
Cold brew: add in a splash of your favorite cold brew concentrate. I recommend using SToK Cold Brew Coffee or Chameleon Cold Brew which can either be found in stores or online.
Canned coconut milk: to make this cocktail thicker and richer, add in some canned coconut milk, I used this Thai Kitchen Unsweetened Coconut Milk for this recipe.
For the rim:
Pumpkin pie spice: grab some pumpkin spice from your cabinets or the store, any brand will work.
Sugar: combine the pumpkin spice with some sugar in a shallow dish. It doesn’t matter what kind you use, I prefer cane sugar but you could also get creative and use brown sugar!
Maple syrup: to get the pumpkin spice and sugar combination to stick to your rim, first coat the rim with your favorite brand of maple syrup.
Star anise: garnish this delicious cocktail with a star anise for a finished look you can find them at your local grocery store in the spice section.
How to Make the Pumpkin Spice Latte Martini
Time to make the PSL Martini! Start by preparing a coupe glass with a sugar and spice rim: Add sugar and 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice to a shallow dish and stir to combine. Add a dash of maple syrup to a second shallow dish. Coat the rim of the glass with maple syrup and submerge in the sugar and spice mixture until the rim is coated.
Once your glass is rimmed, add all ingredients for the cocktail to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is chilled. Double-strain the cocktail mixture into a prepared glass. Top with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and star anise, if desired. Cheers!
