All you pumpkin spice haters better cover your eyes and leave the room because it’s pumpkin spice time around here. Today we’re making our own pumpkin spice syrup (double spice bc it’s twice as nice), and then combining with vodka. Yep, vodka. Only the best for you, my lovely readers.
This is my favorite autumn party drink (OK, it’s a tie with this one).
Pumpkin Spice White Russian, serves one
2 ounces vodka
1.5 ounces Bailey’s (original flavor)
1 ounce half and half
1 ounce pumpkin spice syrup
honey or agave
sprinkles
cinnamon stick
To make the drink, fill a glass with ice and combine vodka, Bailey’s, half and half, and syrup. Stir and serve.
To make your drink extra pretty, use agave syrup or honey to stick the sprinkles to the outer rim of the glass.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick. I hope you enjoy this simple, festive variation on one of our favorite treat cocktails. xx. Elsie

I wanted to ask: Is there any way to make pumpkin spice syrup from real pumpkins?
Thanks in advance!

I’ve never tried a White Russian, but it sounds delicious, especially with a pumpkin flavour! I love the sprinkles, too.

Great idea! I do think it’s funny that we call it Pumpkin Spice when there’s no pumpkin flavour. Maybe we should call it fall spice?
OMG! This sounds amazing! Definitely making these this weekend! Thanks for the great idea!
This looks incredibly delicious! A perfect fall-inspired cocktail – thanks for the share! x

I don’t know how anyone could possibly be a pumpkin spice hater! I’m completely obsessed and this looks amazing! 😉
Ok Im sold! Looks amazing
Yum! This looks delicious & not to mention cute. The perfect fall drink, I want one!
You know some people say they’re “so over” the pumpkin spice thing, but I say bring it on! It’s such a wonderful smell and flavor combo. I’m actually planning a pumpkin spice face mask DIY right now – it’d be perfect to sip on one of pumpkin spice white russians while you pamper yourself with a homemade pumpkin spice face mask!
