Ingredients

Frozen Whipped Cream: (optional)

1/2 cup heavy cream*
2 tbsps confectioners' sugar

Pumpkin Martini:

2-3 tsps cinnamon-sugar, for the rim
1/4 cup vanilla vodka such as Absolut brand
1/4 cup Creme de Cacao liqueur (clear)**
1/2 cup heavy cream*
1-1/2 tsps pumpkin pie spice, more for sprinkling on top

Instructions

If you plan to make the frozen whipped cream, do this before preparing the cocktail. The whipped cream can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the freezer until you’re ready to use it. In a bowl, combine heavy cream and confectioners' sugar, then whip until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a large tip (any shape), and pipe it into round towers on a parchment-lined tray (you'll make four). Place the tray in the freezer immediately and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
1/2 cup heavy cream*, 2 tbsps confectioners' sugar
Dip the rims of your martini glasses in water or crème de cacao, then shake off any excess liquid. Next, dip the rims into cinnamon sugar to coat.
2-3 tsps cinnamon-sugar, for the rim
Chill the prepared martini glasses in the freezer or fridge for at least thirty minutes before serving.
For the cocktail, fill a shaker halfway with ice. Add the vodka, crème de cacao, heavy cream, and pumpkin pie spice. Shake well for at least fifty vigorous shakes. Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glasses. Top each drink with a frozen whipped cream tower and lightly sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice.

Notes

*Heavy Cream: For a rich flavor and the best mouthfeel, use heavy cream that is 36-40% fat. This will yield the best results.

**Crème de Cacao is a chocolate liqueur and there is a dark and clear version. You want the clear version for this recipe.

Whipped Cream: Making the frozen whipped cream is optional. You could easily spray whipped cream from a can, but it will somewhat sink and not look as pretty. This is one of those extra touches that really go a long way.

Cinnamon-sugar is widely available at grocery stores in the spice aisle or you can make your own with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and one tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Store the leftovers in an airtight container.
