Pumpkin Brandy Alexander Cocktails

Fall is in full swing and that means it is pumpkin spice time. While I love incorporating pumpkin into my baking at this time of year, I also have fun adding it to my cocktails. These pumpkin bandy alexander cocktails are an elegant way to celebrate everything that the season has to offer!

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/2 oz creme de cacao
  • 1 + 1/2 oz brewed espresso or coffee
  • 1 oz pumpkin puree
  • 1 oz half and half or heavy cream
  • 1/2 oz pure maple syrup
