Pumpkin Spice White Russian is a delightful twist on the classic White Russian cocktail, made with an addition of pumpkin pie spice. It’s the perfect alcoholic beverage to sip while enjoying the Fall colors and cooler weather! Cheers!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Spiced Sugar Rim: Granulated sugar is mixed with pumpkin pie spice. Then, the mixture coats the rim of each glass for an added sweet and spicy element to the drink!
Pumpkin Pie Spice: Not only is pumpkin pie spice added to the rims of the glasses, but it’s also added to the cocktail mixture for the perfect autumnal treat!
Ice: Add ice to the lowball cocktail glasses for serving as well as to the shaker when mixing the ingredients.
Vodka: Vodka is the primary ingredient in a classic White Russian as well as this variation of the drink. Use your favorite brand.
Kahlua: Kahlua is a coffee-flavored liqueur. You could substitute a shot of espresso or brewed coffee in place of the Kahlua if the vodka is enough liquor for you.
Heavy Cream: Each drink is topped with heavy cream (also known as heavy whipping cream). For a little lighter variation, you could use half-and-half, milk, or coffee creamer.
Can I Make A Pumpkin Spice White Russian Without a Cocktail Shaker?
Absolutely! You can certainly enjoy this adult beverage without a cocktail shaker. Simply fill each glass with crushed ice. Then, top each with 2 ounces of vodka, 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, 1 ounce of Kahlua, and 1 ounce of heavy cream. Stir to combine and enjoy!
What Does a Pumpkin Spice White Russian Taste Like?
