Ingredients
Scale
Rim
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Drink
- Crushed ice, as needed
- 4 ounces vodka
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 ounces Kahlua (or other coffee liqueur)
- 2 ounces heavy cream (divided)
Instructions
- Prepare the rim: In a small dish, combine 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Wet the rims of two lowball glasses with a small amount of water, then roll the rims in the spiced sugar mixture to coat evenly. This will add a flavorful and decorative touch to your glasses.
- Add ice: Fill each prepared glass with crushed ice to chill the drink and keep it refreshingly cold.
- Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 4 ounces of vodka, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 2 ounces of Kahlua or your preferred coffee liqueur. Shake vigorously until well mixed and chilled.
- Assemble the drink: Strain the vodka mixture over the crushed ice in each glass. Then, gently pour 2 ounces of heavy cream (divided between the glasses) over the top. Stir lightly to combine the layers and create a creamy texture.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Pumpkin Spice White Russian is now ready to be served. Cheers to a deliciously spiced and creamy cocktail perfect for fall!
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though it will be less creamy.
- You can adjust the pumpkin pie spice amount to your taste preference for stronger or milder spice flavor.
- Using freshly crushed ice helps keep the drink chilled longer without diluting it too quickly.
- To make this cocktail vegan, replace heavy cream with a plant-based cream alternative.
