This variation of a Pumpkin Martini took quite a bit of experimentation to get exactly how I wanted it, but I finally found the perfect balance of flavors. Originally I was using bourbon, which does make a nice drink, but after a suggestion from a colleague I found rye whiskey to be the best and it finished off the Pumpkin Spice Martini nicely. The Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice liqueur is a seasonal bottling and may be difficult to find outside of the autumn and winter months, however it is a nice way to obtain a pumpkin-flavored martini.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz rye whiskey
  • 1 1/2 oz Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice
  • 1/2 oz triple sec
  • 1/4 oz anise liqueur
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
  • grated nutmeg for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake vigorously (to ensure the egg is properly mixed)
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Sprinkle grated nutmeg on top if desired.
