Pumpkin Pie Martini Recipe. A perfect Fall-themed co*cktail for Thanksgiving. Absolutely delicious and creamy. Perfect martini for that Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner.
Thanksgiving co*cktail
Looking for a Thanksgiving co*cktail recipe to serve your holiday guests? A pumpkin co*cktail?
One that will compliment that Thanksgiving Turkey? How about a Pumpkin Pie Martini.
Last week we had a Falltini-themed open house at our office and invited all of our clients to celebrate a successful year of real estate.
This Pumpkin Pie Martini is one of the flavored martinis that our bartender was shaking up.
It was quite popular, everyone was raving, asking how to make it, and chattering about plans to serveit on Thanksgiving.
It’s a delicious combination of thick and creamy pumpkin pie spiced creme liqueur and vanilla vodka. Topped with a squirt of Reddi-wip you’re reddi to celebrate the turkey holiday.
Even I, the non foo-foo drinker, who prefers a simple glass of red wine, went wild over this Fall themed martini.
A cinnamon stick makes a clever garnish for this martini, or perhaps cinnamon sugar around the rim of the glasswould dress it up even more.
The cinnamon stick trick is truly a trick. You need a long cinnamon stick to get it to stand up in the drink. I prefer it without, as pictured below.
I also thought this liqueur was delicious served on the rocks and it actually seemed pretty good swigged straight from the bottle. (Just kidding on that one…kinda.)
Anyway, when you see Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueurin your liquor store, pick up a bottle. Its perfect for a Thanksgiving co*cktail recipe.
Fulton’s is a limited-edition liqueur available only from September to November. The cream liqueur tells its tale simply by looking at its name. It islush, creamy and reminiscent of homemade pumpkin pie complete with the flavors rich with vanilla, brown sugar and spices.
My favorite part is that it’s not overly sweet.

Ingredients
- 2 shots Vanilla flavored vodka
- 1 cup Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur
- 1 cup cubed ice
- Whipped Cream for topping
- cinnamon sticks for garnish
Instructions
Place ice in a martini shaker.
Pour in liqueur and vodka and shake it good.
Pour into martini glasses and top with whipped cream. Garnish with a cinnamon stick. The glass can also be rimmed with some cinnamon sugar.
Notes
To coat the rim of the glass with sugar, or cinnamon sugar: Place about 1/2 cup raw sugar on a plate. Sprinkle on 1 teaspoon cinnamon and mix. Make sure the sugar mixture doesn’t spread out. Shake the plate so it makes a solid dipping platform. On another plate, add water. Turn the glass upside down in the water and then place it in the sugar mixture. If it doesn’t coat evenly, just shake the plate again, rotate glass and dip again.
Whipped Cream: Using Canned Redi-whip is a very easy and convenient way to go. And that’s how I make them. However, it will melt into the drink quickly. Use a scoop of Cool whip, or even pipe some homemade whipped cream onto the drink.
Homemade Whipped Cream: 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat on high until medium peaks form, about 3 minutes.

Even tho I don’t drink much – and can’t drink Vodka – this looks intriguing. Maybe leave out the vodka for me and use a touch of vanilla instead? Another one I’ve passed on to the chef just in case he wants to try it Thursday. 🙂 Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, LA!!

You can most certainly leave out the vodka. I’m not sure vanilla is even necessary. It’s creamy and wonderful on the rocks. However, I’m serving it tomorrow. Putting it in the freezer for awhile, a scoop of ice cream drizzled with the Pumpkin liquer a shot of whipped cream …. mmmmmmm

Great idea!! I believe the martini has made the cut for our tgiving dinner. My first clue…asked to pick up 12 martini glasses. 🙂
- Lea Ann says
I’d say that Martini made the cut. 🙂
- Nancy says
We had them on Thanksgiving …it has a very high YUM quotient! I had mine without the vodka and it was delicious. All 11 of us really enjoyed this drink. Thanks again!
- Lea Ann says
Aren’t they good??? A little over the top however, probably a once a year “thing”. So glad you persuaded the chef to add them to the menu.
