Because Martini Monday should be a thing…

Update: This post was originally published in November 2015. I made edits to the photos and added a RECIPE VIDEO to show you how easy this cocktail is to make! However, the actual written words below remain the same.

Have you ever just had one of those days [read: weeks] where you feel like life is conspiring against you? Or, the stars are simply (and continually) refusing to align Have you ever just had a seriously bad series of days?

Well, that is a rhetorical question, because of course you have. It’s unfortunately apart of life. It even starts at a young age, because if you are in your two’s you are continuously having a terrible day (although I am sure if you are a two year old you aren’t reading this blog. Spoiler alert in case you are a baby genius, and you are in fact here reading this – It’s all downhill from here).

I hate those days. You wake up fine, or maybe you don’t. But, either way, there is a moment when you just KNOW it is going to be a bad day. Or, in my situation, an endless series of bad days. My list is too extensive, and I won’t bore you with details, but let’s just say I am having a Groundhog Day moment. I can’t seem to shake the funk. Not to be confused with faking the funk. Because, let’s be real. I CAN fake the funk. 😉

Anyways, when life’s handing you a plethora of metaphorical rotten, stinky, molding pumpkins you NEED to make this… Straight on shot of a Pumpkin Pie Martini garnished with a cinnamon stick and graham cracker-sugar rim with an additional cocktail, cinnamon sticks, graham crackers, a small pumpkin and autumn decor blurred in the background.Angled shot of a Pumpkin Pie Martini garnished with a cinnamon stick and graham cracker-sugar rim with cinnamon sticks, graham crackers, a small pumpkin and autumn decor blurred in the background.

Pumpkin Pie Martini

This cocktail may not make your day better. And, this libation certainly won’t make that annoying person, task or thing poof into thin air… but, it certainly will put a smile on your face.

Or at least put a small skip (or wobble, depending on how many of these you drink) in your step.

These martinis taste like a boozy, bodacious pumpkin pie. This cocktail is smooth, creamy, sweet and rich with nuances of pumpkin and cinnamon. Essentially it is the dessert portion of Thanksgiving in a chilled glass, minus the hours of slaving away in a kitchen.

Confession time, I have never been a fan of pumpkin pie. It’s a little too goopy for my taste, but this pumpkin pie martini? I could, and did, totally get down with this cocktail.

Slightly angled shot of a Pumpkin Pie Martini garnished with a cinnamon stick and graham cracker-sugar rim with cinnamon sticks and graham crackers blurred in the background.Besides, no offense to the pie, I happen to think this martini is prettier too! I mean, just look at that graham cracker-cinnamon-sugar coated rim, the slight dusting of nutmeg and the stick of cinnamon acting as a stirrer.

Does pumpkin pie have that? Um, no.

And if you want to get all fancy-dancy with it, I suggest you add a huge dollop of whipped cream. Because life is made sweeter with whipped cream. Fact.

Straight on shot of a Pumpkin Pie Martini garnished with a cinnamon stick, graham cracker-sugar rim and a dollop of whipped cream; with an additional cocktail, cinnamon sticks, graham crackers, a small pumpkin and autumn decor blurred in the background.So whether or not you are having a bad day and like or loath pumpkin pie, you need to shake together this pumpkin pie martini. The season calls for it and you, my friend, deserve it! 😉  Until next time, Cheers – to sippin’ on somethin’ scrumptious.

XOXO

      Loved it! I used plain vodka instead of pumpkin spice vodka, and I used fresh pumpkin spice instead of nutmeg to garnish it. I also used the bourbon maple syrup in had purchased from costco. This was an AMAZING martini!

      Followed pretty much the general recipe, such as ingredient quantity. I did have to make my own pumpkin pie spice vodka and that could be why I needed to decrease the amount to 1/2 ounce and substitute plain vodka for the rest. I used spiced rum for dark rum and nixed the vanilla. After the first one, I wanted more pumpkin so I added 1/2 tbsp. Also, this was to sweet (for me) so I cut the maple syrup in half and…this is very special and for my husband and me to have a very personal scaled back thanksgiving, who needs all the fixings? Truth be told, I do miss the dressing but I don’t think that would work in a cocktail.

      Wow, a ton of supportive comments from this therapy network…but has anyone tried this martini yet other than the publisher?

      I was looking for a drink for Thanksgiving and was going to test it out on the wives tonight.
      But as a guy, reading the comments I think I just got my period. Women – help her by saying – I made this and it is wonderful or – I would change…X.
      Or like most recipe site – change the recipe and leave less than 4 stars based on the changes you made before trying the original recipe.

      I will try making this tonight for the wives – and try to leave a helpful review tomorrow. May be then..this world will be whole again.

        Hi Nicole! Pumpkin vodka is definitely a thing, however these days it seems like everything is pumpkin spiced! I even saw pumpkin spice cough drops the other day… which is taking it a bit too far if u ask me. 😉 If you can’t find pumpkin vodka, you can certainly substitute plain vodka. Cheers and thank you so much for stopping by!

      Wow! Almost two years have passed (I refuse to believe this, though), and these fancy pumpkin martinis look even better now (Or that’s just me – while getting older, I’ve started to love more and more things where alcohol is involved hah). That’s sad you’ve used vodka in here (cause I cannot stand it). Clearly, I’ve got to find an alternative to enjoy a pumpkin pie in a glass:) Cheers!

      Someone is always telling me that I should just “Fake it till I make it” so I guess if we were to apply it to the funk – well I guess you should fake the funk till you make the funk?? Oh good gosh, that just sounds dastardly…so much better to just make this “boozy, bodacious pumpkin pie” in a martini glass!
      Last night I watched an episode of The Great British Bake Off where one of the contestants’ made “Mudslide Cocktail Doughnuts” – where not only the donuts were boozy, but he stuck a straw in each donut and filled the straw with a small sip of a mudslide – the reason I am ranting on about this is because you should have seen the look on Judge Mary Berry’s Face when she took a sip of it – it was of absolute delight! And, her look is what my look is as I laid eyes on your pumpkin pie martini!
      Hope the funk leaves you alone soon dear!

How do I not have pumpkin vodka already? Hmm, headed to the liquor store today (we’re out of bourbon – oh the horror!) so I will definitely be picking some up – how fun! This will put a smile on my face no matter the day. Pinned and yummed. Whoop!

Those days were everything that could go wrong seems to go wrong, and everything seems to rub the wrong way, and it is all too busy and you kind of just want to yell STOP TIME OUT but you can’t? I feel you – and I hope you can shake the funk and feel heaps better soon!! xx

      Oh I’m sorry love that it’s been a few tough weeks. I’m sadly going through a rough patch at work and trying to keep my head up. This martini could make those long days well forgotten. I love the spices, dark rum and graham crackers in there.

      What an inspired use of pumpkin, Cheyanne. The best part of down days are when they are over! Tomorrow will be better – especially if you’re having one of this martini!

      I am so sorry you’re having a rough time! This time of year can really be a bear. But a pumpkin pie martini sounds like a perfect way to shake it off! The pics are gorgeous and it sounds so delish!

      Oh yeah, I have those days and sometimes days do turn into a few, but luckily they do get better! I hope you shake this thing soon. 🙂 Next time I need shake off a bad day I’ll shake up one of these martini’s — they look like the perfect thing to perk up a mood, and they’re so pretty!

      One day, my dear, you and I will sit on a veranda overlooking the sea or mountains, doesn’t really matter which….and suck down this delicious Pumpkin Pie Martini with utter abandon. And THEN. We will laugh and chat and have a fabulous day to make up for all the stinky ones we get. Yup. that’s what we’re doing. Put it on the calendar girlfriend. Next time I’m in NC I’ll look you up and we’ll make it a reality. Or you could always come to New Hamp. Last time I was in NC this past summer things got a little hairy shall we say….http://www.throughherlookingglass.com/?p=10165 I do believe it may amuse you and cheer you to read what I was doing (or not doing) in your NC backwoods. Spending a little too much time with the deer, dear. XOXO

      It’s that time of the year to be in a funk! But this pumpkin pie martini will hopefully make you feel just a little bit better. I absolutely LOVE this, Cheyanne! What a great drink for the holidays! Pinned!

      Yaaas. This looks so amazing. I’m sorry you have been having a rough week. I am totally having a funky day/week so feel you. Maybe it’s like the phase of the moon or something. Are we in a Saturn return? Is Mercury in retrograde? I don’t know…. Either way, one or two of these might help with the funk. Cheers to you lady!

      Wow! What a fancy (read peculiar) combo! I mean who could ever successfully combine pumpkin and rum? Only Chey! Should we anticipate from you pumpkin pie bourbon now?:)

      Oh my goodness! I have to try this! It is the perfect drink when you need to shake the funk, or for Thanksgiving, or (synonymously) with being stuck in the houseful of bickering in-laws. 😉 Pinning!

      Fake it until you make it, right? Sorry you’re in a funk. I feel you. Happens to me all the time. Especially this time of year. It’s all rainy and dark today and I’m grumpy. I need a cocktail!

      I can definitely relate, yay! I’ve been having some of those days lately! Sorry to hear you’ve been having bad days, too! I wake up fine and then things turn around and then you know…. Bad day!
      I think it is time to make a martini! This looks gorgeous!

      Well, that’s no fun… sorry for the string of bad days, my friend. When a rut hits my life I always turn to nature, long walks with hubby or a good book. Thanks for creating just one more pretty and delicious ‘strategy’ for helping with a hurdle. Hugs! xo

      I hate bad days too Cheyanne, and unfortunately they happen to the best of us! When I’m having a bad day I grab my dog Tucker, plop myself on the couch, turn on the TV, put my feet up and relax for a while. Tucker honestly makes everything better!! He knows when I’m stressed and always helps me out of my funk. I’m thinking this pumpkin pie martini would also be a big help! I have never been a huge pumpkin pie fan either. My mom always made a pumpkin chiffon pie when I was growing up, and that I like. I LOVE the graham cracker-cinnamon sugar along the rim of your glass and the little sprinkle of nutmeg. This sounds like the perfect Thanksgiving cocktail! Well done friend! Hope your weekend gets better! XO

      I have no doubt that this pumpkin pie martini would make any bad day instantly better. I just realised that it isn’t Friday, but Thursday and I am very sad about that. So, I think I need to make myself one of these to cheer me up.
