When it comes to entertaining at Thanksgiving, I’m all about keeping things simple and festive with this Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Martini! There’s no need for fancy equipment or waiting for espresso to cool; store-bought pumpkin cold brew is my secret shortcut. I can easily whip up a batch ahead of time, so guests can enjoy a delicious, fall cocktail that keeps everyone in the holiday spirit without slowing down the day’s festivities.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 oz pumpkin cold brew coffee
- 2 oz vanilla vodka (or regular vodka)
- 1 oz coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
- splash of half & half (optional but recommended!)
- coffee beans, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon (optional to garnish)
DIRECTIONS:
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add cold brew coffee, vodka, coffee liqueur, and half & half. Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. Strain into martini glass. Garnish with coffee beans and dust with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
