Cocktail Hour: Pumpkin Martini

I love Halloween, as do most of my friends, so there are always lots of parties to attend, costumes to plan and excuses to drink ridiculous alcohol. This year I am holding out to try a Pumpkin Martini, inspired by this recipe for the Perfect Pumpkin Martini!

There are a whole heap of pumpkin based cocktail recipes out there, some of which seem to be much more trick than treat but this one seems pretty simple as long as you can lay your hands on some Pumpkin Spice Syrup (yup just like they use in your favorite seasonal coffee beverage!

Pumpkin Martini (serves two)

You will need:

4 fl oz Vanilla Vodka
1 fl oz Pumpkin Spice Syrup
1 fl oz Double Cream
Ice
Nutmeg
Cinammon Stick

Shake It!

1. Add the vodka, pumpkin syrup, cream and ice to a cocktail shaker and give it a good ol' shake until your drink is well and truly mixed.

2. Pour into a martini glass, grate nutmeg over to taste and garnish with the cinnamon, swizzle stick stylee!
