There is no question that fall is my absolute favorite time of the year! This month I will be doing a Pumpkin Recipe Series, so each week in October I’ll be posting a new one. A couple of weeks ago I held a poll on my Instagram stories where you all voted on which pumpkin recipes I should do, and these will be the winners of that!
We are starting with a cocktail of course. This is a Pumpkin Spice White Russian.
Yes, you read that right. A classic White Russian cocktail consists of vodka, coffee liqueur and cream. This take on it makes it a bit more festive by using Hard Truth’s Cinnamon Vodka, Kahlua, pumpkin spice creamer, and almond milk. You can rim the glass with a combo of pumpkin pie spice, sugar and crumbled graham crackers. It’s the perfect mix of boozy and sweet, and it tastes like October.
