Cold brew coffee, creamy pumpkin, warm spices and caramel in a silky dessert martini.

Contains alcohol — adults only in the main version; contains dairy when made with Irish cream or dairy creamer. The designated alcohol-free variation contains no vodka, Irish cream or coffee liqueur. Card heading gives 5 minutes total and 0 minutes cook for mixing only; syrup preparation is separate. Pitcher: mix in a large pitcher, chill, then shake individual servings with ice. Tips: use real pumpkin purée; chill the glass; use espresso instead of cold brew for stronger coffee; adjust sweetness with caramel or syrup; mixed ingredients except ice keep refrigerated up to 24 hours and should be shaken before serving. Variations: bourbon instead of vodka; 1 oz chocolate liqueur or chocolate syrup; Kahlúa instead of vodka or in addition; caramel sauce or cocoa powder drizzle. Pair with pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie, chocolate truffles, salted caramel brownies, spiced nuts, cheese and charcuterie, gingerbread cookies or warm cinnamon rolls.

Method

1
Prepare the pumpkin spice syrup if making it from scratch: simmer the brown sugar, water, cinnamon sticks and pumpkin pie spice for 10–15 minutes, then strain. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The card also allows store-bought syrup.
2
Prepare the glass: drizzle caramel sauce inside a martini glass. Optionally rim the glass with crushed graham crackers or brown sugar.
3
Make the cocktail: in a cocktail shaker, combine vodka (or coffee liqueur), pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice syrup, caramel sauce, cold brew coffee and Irish cream. Add ice and shake well for 15–20 seconds until smooth and chilled.
4
Strain into the prepared martini glass.
5
Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel, a sprinkle of pumpkin spice and a few coffee beans if desired. Sip and savor!
6
For the alcohol-free variation, shake the cold brew concentrate, pumpkin caramel syrup, alcohol-free vanilla or Irish-cream-style coffee creamer, cream or oat cream, pumpkin pie spice and ice vigorously, then strain into a chilled glass.
