Description
A sophisticated, creamy fall cocktail featuring real pumpkin puree, vanilla vodka, and coffee liqueur, topped with floating heavy cream and pumpkin spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces vanilla vodka
- 1 tablespoon 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 1.5 ounces coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
- 2 ounces heavy cream
- 1 pinch pumpkin pie spice
- Ice cubes (large cubes preferred)
- Optional garnish: Whipped cream, cinnamon stick, orange zest
Instructions
- In a small mixing glass or measuring cup, combine the vanilla vodka and pumpkin puree. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and free of clumps.
- Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the coffee liqueur over the ice, allowing it to sink to the bottom.
- Pour the pumpkin-vodka mixture over the ice, letting it mix slightly with the coffee liqueur to create a marbled effect.
- Slowly pour the heavy cream over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the drink, creating a distinct white layer.
- Garnish with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, optional whipped cream, and a cinnamon stick.
- Stir gently before drinking to combine the layers.
Notes
Ensure the pumpkin puree is 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Whisk the pumpkin with the vodka first to prevent clumps. Use cold ingredients to help the cream float properly. For a non-alcoholic version, swap vodka for vanilla extract and coffee liqueur for cold brew coffee.
