Thanksgiving Cocktail
Looking for a Thanksgiving Cocktail recipe to serve your holiday guests? A pumpkin cocktail?
One that will compliment that Thanksgiving Turkey? How about a Pumpkin Pie Martini.
Last week we had a Falltini-themed open house at our office and invited all of our clients to celebrate a successful year of real estate.
This Pumpkin Pie Martini is one of the flavored martinis that our bartender was shaking up.
It was quite popular, everyone was raving, asking how to make it, and chattering about plans to serve it on Thanksgiving.
It’s a delicious combination of thick and creamy pumpkin pie spiced creme liqueur and vanilla vodka. Topped with a squirt of Reddi-wip you’re reddi to celebrate the turkey holiday.
Even I, the non foo-foo drinker, who prefers a simple glass of red wine, went wild over this Fall themed martini.
A cinnamon stick makes a clever garnish for this martini, or perhaps cinnamon sugar around the rim of the glass would dress it up even more.
The cinnamon stick trick is truly a trick. You need a long cinnamon stick to get it to stand up in the drink. I prefer it without.
I also thought this liqueur was delicious served on the rocks and it actually seemed pretty good swigged straight from the bottle. (Just kidding on that one…kinda.)
When you see Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur in your liquor store, pick up a bottle. Its perfect for a Thanksgiving cocktail recipe.
Fulton’s is a limited-edition liqueur available only from September to November. The cream liqueur tells its tale simply by looking at its name. It is lush, creamy and reminiscent of homemade pumpkin pie complete with the flavors rich with vanilla, brown sugar and spices.
My favorite part is that it’s not overly sweet.
Tips For Success
The alcohol in this cocktail will melt the whipped cream quickly. You can mix the drink in glasses ahead of time, but wait until the last minute before adding that cream. Serve immediately once you do.

Yummy Lea Ann! I’ve been hitting the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes pretty hard; maybe I should opt for this adult version instead!
Lea Ann says
Might be a nice change during all the hubbub. 🙂

dan says
um. UM been there.
Your picture made me feel so much more sophisticated than…that night : )
Lea Ann says
LOL Dan, It was spur of the moment and we didn’t need no stinkin martini glasses. 😉
Nancy says
Even tho I don’t drink much – and can’t drink Vodka – this looks intriguing. Maybe leave out the vodka for me and use a touch of vanilla instead? Another one I’ve passed on to the chef just in case he wants to try it Thursday. 🙂 Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, LA!!
Lea Ann says
You can most certainly leave out the vodka. I’m not sure vanilla is even necessary. It’s creamy and wonderful on the rocks. However, I’m serving it tomorrow. Putting it in the freezer for awhile, a scoop of ice cream drizzled with the Pumpkin liquer a shot of whipped cream …. mmmmmmm
Nancy says
Great idea!! I believe the martini has made the cut for our tgiving dinner. My first clue…asked to pick up 12 martini glasses. 🙂
Lea Ann says
I’d say that Martini made the cut. 🙂
Nancy says
We had them on Thanksgiving …it has a very high YUM quotient! I had mine without the vodka and it was delicious. All 11 of us really enjoyed this drink. Thanks again!
Lea Ann says
Aren’t they good??? A little over the top however, probably a once a year “thing”. So glad you persuaded the chef to add them to the menu.
