The weather is finally cooling down here in Missouri. We're starting to see (a few) leaves turning orange, and I've already enjoyed an uncountable number of pumpkin lattes. We're feeling the Autumn spirit over here and hope you are too (unless you're in Australia—sorry guys, we're all backwards, aren't we?). Anyway, the time has come! Emma and I are planning halloween porch decorations, brainstorming ridiculous costumes (just you wait… oh my) and in general seeing the world though pumpkin-spice-colored lenses.
A lot of build up for a martini, no? Trust me. It's worth it.
Vanilla Vodka (I infused my own with a vanilla bean)
Pumpkin spice syrup (recipe here)
Pumpkin pie filling
Half & Half
Vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon
Sugar
Jello cheesecake pudding mix
Whipped Cream
In a shaker combine 2 ounces Vodka, 2 ounces half & half, 2 ounces pumpkin pie filling, 1 drop vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons jello cheesecake pudding mix, a dash of ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice syrup (you can skip the syrup if you enjoy less sweet cocktails). Add ice and shake. Pour into a glass rimmed in cinnamon sugar and garnish with whipped cream (we found this awesome stuff called Whipped Lightning that is spiked—so fun!), a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!

Wow this looks like such a fun drink 🙂 I’m so excited for Halloween too!
Omg staring at this jealously from my desk at work. Aghh!
This looks AMAZING! We consider quitting veganism for that one!
Love and good night from Germany,

This sounds delicious! And apparently we’re thinking alike since I just posted a recipe for actual pumpkin cheesecake today! http://www.homevolution.co/2013/09/recipe-white-chocolate-pumpkin.html
This looks delicious and can double as dessert!

This is amazing! I almost can’t stand it! This would be perfect for a girls night in…. party any one?
Alcohol infused whipped cream sounds like the best idea ever. I really like that you guys used your same psl syrup. I made some pumpkin spice lattes, too, and ended up making Pumpkin Spice White Russians with it. They were really good, too.
Half of these thing you can’t get in Europe. Sound delicious though!
Ok well THAT looks DIVINE! Can’t wait to try this! Great idea! Bring on the pumpkin recipes! 🙂

WOW!!! This is on my must try list!!! 🙂
Ouauuu! this looks delicious! kisses from Bordeaux
Wish these ingredients were available in the UK! I have never seen canned pumpkin, ever! And cheesecake jello? What on earth!
It does look amazing though.. maybe I’ll do an across the pond alternative.

PS White Russians is a great idea! Thanks Christina!!
Hi Robin!
Awe- thanks so much! We hope to do a cookbook in the future, but right now we’re so happy writing for the blog that it’s hard to imagine loving doing anything more. 😀

My God this looks good!
Thanks for the shout out to Australia. We’re getting set for a very, VERY hot summer. Seriously, this place bypasses spring and jumps straight into can’t-make-physical-contact-with-another-person-for-fear-of-combustion weather. The recipe looks so delicious, though 🙁
Hi Amy- sorry about that! I’ve only been to the UK one time for a short period, so I honestly don’t know what is available there (or not).
Thanks for reading anyway!!! 😀 elsie
haha- I know right!??!
elsie
holy crap.. this is like starbucks on crap. my new favorite pumpkin drink!
Oh My! That looks so good! I am so happy that everyone else is as obsessed with pumpkin everything, like me!
Thanks for the Australian shout out. I’m in Queensland and my face is melting right now. We don’t really get cold weather here.
Ah looks amazing! Wish I could get the pumpkin ingredients in NZ!
This is so to die for! Looking super delicious! Can’t wait to try it!
