- 2 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka

- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, plus additional for garnish
- Handful of ice cubes
Instructions
- Chill Martini Glasses: Place 2 martini glasses in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail and whipped cream.
- Prepare Frozen Whipped Cream: Line a small sheet tray with parchment or waxed paper. Make 2 dollops of whipped topping or whipped cream and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Make the Martini: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, aged rum, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, half-and-half, pumpkin pie spice, and ice cubes. Cover and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until well chilled and mixed.

Notes
- For a richer texture, use full-fat whipped cream and half-and-half.
- Adjust the maple syrup to taste for preferred sweetness level.
- Ensure the whipped cream is properly frozen to keep the cocktail cool longer.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor, or canned 100% pumpkin if fresh is unavailable.
- Can be made in advance except for the whipped cream topping to maintain freshness.
