Pumpkin Pie Martini Recipe. A perfect Fall-themed cocktail for Thanksgiving. Absolutely delicious and creamy. Perfect martini for that Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner.
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, as pictured below.
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.)
Anyway, 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.

Forget the pumpkin pie, give me one of those! Although I suspect they could be quite dangerous!
yay! 🙂
Now THAT is a holiday martini!
yup! 🙂
Delicious holiday cocktail! Who needs pie? 😉
LOL, I might agree with you Susan.
Yummy Lea Ann! I’ve been hitting the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes pretty hard; maybe I should opt for this adult version instead!
Might be a nice change during all the hubbub. 🙂
Having a bartender at work sounds like my kinda place.
LOL, unfortunately she’s only part time. 😉
What a great idea. Have a great Thanksgiving Lea Ann.
Thank you Penny.
Well, this is going to liven up Thanksgiving at the assisted living facility. 😉
LMAO …
It sounds very original ! I love martini ! White, red, pink … or orange !
I’m somewhat of a martini fan myself Axelle. 🙂
A Thanksgiving martini – very clever.
Cheers!

Thanks Sam… Happy TG to you and Meakin.
um. UM been there.
Your picture made me feel so much more sophisticated than…that night : )
LOL Dan, It was spur of the moment and we didn’t need no stinkin martini glasses. 😉
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!!
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
Great idea!! I believe the martini has made the cut for our tgiving dinner. My first clue…asked to pick up 12 martini glasses. 🙂
I’d say that Martini made the cut. 🙂
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!
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.
