Pumpkintini

Ingredients:

- 2 shots Vanilla or Whipped Cream vodka
- 1 shot Kahlua (or other coffee flavored liquor)
- 2-3 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup of milk
- honey
- crushed graham crackers (food processor works best!)
- ice
- pinch pumpkin pie spice (I used ground cinnamon)
- cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Start by prepping your martini glass. Rim the glass with honey and dip into crushed graham crackers for a pumpkin “pie” effect.



Combine pumpkin puree and milk in a cocktail shaker and shake until “frothy” (like a latte!)



Next, pour in vodka, kahlua and add ice.



Shake well, then strain into prepared martini glass.


Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
