Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Mocktail (serves 2):
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup half-and-half or coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • For the Graham Cracker Rim:
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • For Garnish:
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • Pinch of pumpkin pie spice for dusting

Instructions

  1. Chill the Glasses: Place martini glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving to ensure your mocktail stays perfectly cold from first sip to last.
  2. Prepare the Rim: Combine graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Pour honey into another shallow dish for smooth, efficient rimming.
  3. Rim the Glasses: Dip the rim of each chilled martini glass into honey, rotating to coat evenly. Immediately roll the honey-coated rim in the graham cracker mixture, pressing gently to ensure adherence.
  4. Mix the Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine pumpkin puree, half-and-half, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Whisk briefly to eliminate any lumps before adding ice.
  5. Shake and Serve: Add ice to the shaker and secure lid tightly. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to achieve the perfect frothy consistency and proper temperature.
  6. Strain and Garnish: Strain the mocktail into the prepared martini glasses. Garnish each with a cinnamon stick and a light dusting of pumpkin pie spice.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use real pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for the best texture and flavor control. Canned pumpkin works perfectly and is available year-round. Make-Ahead: The pumpkin mixture can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated – just shake well before serving. Texture Tips: For an ultra-smooth mocktail, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before shaking with ice. Variations: Coconut cream creates a dairy-free version that’s just as creamy. Serving: Best enjoyed immediately while cold and frothy. Storage: Leftover mixture keeps refrigerated for up to 2 days.
