Ingredients
Method
- Start with a chilled glass, or allow an extra 10–20 minutes to chill freezer-safe glassware. Put caramel sauce and graham cracker crumbs on separate plates. Dip the empty glass rim in caramel, then in the crumbs.
- Add the pumpkin puree, vodka, RumChata, pumpkin pie spice and maple syrup to a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 10–20 seconds.
- Strain into the prepared martini glass and serve.
- Optional garnish: a dollop of whipped cream, a cinnamon stick or a light dusting of pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
The five-minute prep time assumes a prechilled glass. Allow extra time for chilling. Optional extra cream: ½ fluid ounce per drink; this is not included in the base recipe's nutrition estimate. Rim and garnish quantities vary.
Food Safety Tip — Recommended practice: Keep the prepared pumpkin-and-cream-liqueur mixture covered at 40°F or colder. Discard it after more than two hours without refrigeration, or one hour above 90°F. Why it matters: The prepared mixture needs cold storage. Source: FDA buffet food safety guidance.
