The Pumpkin Martini has long been a favorite cocktail for fall. Although it has recently become difficult(nearly impossible) to find pumpkin schnapps or any pumpkin liqueur. Until another pumpkin liqueur comes on the market again you can substitute pumpkin spice syrup or pumpkin puree. You might also want to check out the Pumpkin Spice Martini, the Pumpkin Divine or the Calabatini.

variation on the pumpkin martini, Member DesDurso

I love the idea of a pumpkin martini in the fall! Husband and I had trouble finding a couple of the ingredients at the tiny liquor store closest to our party destination, so we improvised. We ended up making pumpkin martinis out of Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka, Smirnoff Whip Vodka, and Pumpkin Cream Liqueur, with a little (light) whip cream dollop on top for effect and flavor. Simple and Delish. Our variation on the Recipe (Makes 2 martninis): 1 oz Vanilla Vodka 2 oz Whip Vodka 4 oz Pumpkin Cream Liqueur *Shake with ice in cocktail shaker till thoroughly chilled* *pour into 2 martini glasses *Add 1 dollop of whip cream to each martini for garnish and flavor.
