Tips
I’ve found Veil & Pinnacle Vodkas to be excellent, ‘flavored’ vodkas.
I drink my Pumpkin Pie Martini with just the Vodka and Rum Chata but if you prefer that pumpkin spice flavor, then add the Pumpkin Pie Syrup.

Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further
Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun.
I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!
Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?
And don’t forget the chilled martini glass. Nothing is worse than a martini in a warm glass. Check out these 2 that I recommend. Joy Jolt set of 6 martini glasses in multi-colors and Crafthouse by Fortessa, set of 4 martini glasses. They are both dishwasher safe.

Joy Jolt is a short martini glass, great for stacking in the freezer, and the Crafthouse by Fortessa is tall and elegant. Still, finding a safe spot to lay it down in the freezer is harder.
Note: The green martini glasses are not Crafthouse glasses. They are for illustration purposes only
How to make the Pumpkin Pie Martini
For an extra frosty martini, chill your glass in the freezer for about 15 minutes before preparing your cocktail.
To Rim the Glass – Optional
Start by rimming your martini glass with caramel syrup and cinnamon sugar.
You can do this easily by squeezing the caramel syrup onto a small plate and spreading it across the plate with the back of a spoon.
Add 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar to another small plate.


Place the chilled martini glass face down into the caramel syrup and then into the cinnamon sugar to add a touch of fall flavor.
To Make the Martini
Add the Pumpkin Vodka, Rum Chata, half and half and Pumpkin Pie Syrup (optional) to a shaker half full of ice.
Shake for 10 seconds and pour the strained ingredients into the martini glass.
If you rimmed your glass, add a cinnamon stick for a festive flair. If you didn’t rim your glass, add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent touch, then lightly dust the top of your martini with ground cinnamon.

The Pumpkin Pie Martini with Rum Chata is more than just a drink; it’s an experience. The creamy texture, warm spices, and sweet, smooth finish make it the perfect cocktail to enjoy on a crisp winter night. Whether hosting a spooky Halloween party or simply relaxing after a night of trick-or-treating, this martini will cast a spell on your taste buds.
So, gather your ingredients, channel your inner mixologist, and treat yourself to this delightful pumpkin pie martini. Cheers to a happy and haunting Halloween!
