Ingredients
Spice Blend
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
Martini Mixture
- ¼ cup unsweetened soy milk
- 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ ounces rum or vodka
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 cup ice
- 1 orange slice
Garnish
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Combine the spices: Whisk together the nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves until fully blended to create the pumpkin spice mix.
- Prepare the rim: Take a quarter teaspoon of the spice blend, mix it with the brown sugar, and spread this mixture on a small plate. Run the orange slice around the rim of the martini glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the spice and sugar mixture to coat.
- Mix the cocktail: In a martini shaker, combine 1 cup of ice, ¼ cup unsweetened soy milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, the remaining pumpkin spice mix, and 1 ½ ounces of rum or vodka. Shake vigorously until well chilled and combined.
- Serve: Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared martini glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick for an aromatic, festive touch.
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Orange slice added to the rim not only helps flavor but also adds a beautiful aroma.
- You can use either rum or vodka based on preference; white rum offers a sweeter profile, vodka gives a cleaner spirit taste.
- Unsweetened soy milk makes this recipe vegan and keeps sugar levels controllable.
