ingredients

For the Pumpkin Cold Foam

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice simple syrup (store-bought or homemade)

ingredients

For the Espresso Martini

  • 1 ounce freshly brewed espresso
  • 1 1/2 ounce vanilla vodka
  • 3/4 ounce Kahlua
  • 3/4 ounce pumpkin spice simple syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • Espresso beans (optional), for garnish

Method

  • Step 1

    Make the Pumpkin Cold Foam: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin spice simple syrup.

  • Step 2

    Using a frother or whisk, froth the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, being careful not to over-whip it into whipped cream. If it does turn into whipped cream, don’t worry—it will still taste delicious!

  • Step 3

    Prepare the Espresso Martini: In a cocktail shaker, combine the freshly brewed espresso, vanilla vodka, Kahlua, and pumpkin spice simple syrup. Shake the mixture vigorously to chill it.

  • Step 4

    After shaking, allow the mixture to rest for a moment before pouring. This helps reduce the amount of foam, allowing the cold foam to sit nicely on top.

  • Step 5

    Pour the espresso martini mixture into a chilled glass. Top with the pumpkin cold foam, adding as much as you desire.

  • Step 6

    Sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice over the cold foam and add a few espresso beans for garnish, if desired.
