A dash of pumpkin pie spice gives these white Russians a comforting flavor, but you could even take it up a notch with pumpkin coffee creamer, flavored vodka, and more.
Ingredients Needed
- Vodka – It’s a necessary part of this recipe! There’s no need to get fancy with the vodka you use – any low to mid-priced bottle will do.
- Coffee liqueur – White Russians are usually made with Kahlúa, but you can use any brand of coffee liqueur that you like.
- Whole milk – Reduced-fat milk or skim milk can be substituted for whole milk.
- Pumpkin pie spice – A blend of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves. You can easily make homemade pumpkin pie spice, or it can be found in your grocery store’s spice section.
How to Prepare
For the detailed instructions, please see the recipe card.
- Pour all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake until the outside of the shaker is frosted and very cold (about 30 seconds).
- Strain into rocks glasses filled with ice.
- Garnish the cocktails with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- No cocktail shaker? No problem! Mix the cocktail ingredients in any sealed container or airtight jar you have on hand.
- Rim the cocktail glasses for an elevated presentation and flavor. Stir 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice and 3 tablespoons of white sugar together in a shallow dish. Dip the rims of the empty cocktail glasses in a little water before the pumpkin spice-sugar mixture to help it stick.
- This is a festive drink, so why not add a festive garnish? Top your cocktail with a dollop of whipped cream, then sprinkle pumpkin spice on top to give it a festive flair. You could even add a cinnamon stick to the drink, like a festive stir stick.
