Ingredients
Scale
For the Rim
- Extra sweetened condensed milk (for dipping)
- Crushed graham cracker crumbs (for coating the rim)
For the Mocktail
- ¼ cup half and half
- 1 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- â…› Tbsp pumpkin puree
- ½ cup ice cubes
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim: Dip the rim of your serving glass into extra sweetened condensed milk to make it sticky, then immediately coat it with crushed graham cracker crumbs. This creates a delicious and festive rim that mimics the crust of a pumpkin pie.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add the half and half, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir gently to start blending the flavors evenly.
- Add Ice and Shake: Add ice cubes to the shaker. Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. This chills the mixture thoroughly and creates a light, frothy texture.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the chilled mocktail mixture into the prepared glass with the graham cracker rim. Serve immediately and enjoy cold for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your taste preference if you like more or less spice.
- For a vegan version, substitute half and half with a plant-based creamer and use vegan sweetened condensed milk alternatives.
- The crushed graham cracker rim adds a nice texture and flavor but can be skipped if desired.
- Make sure to shake the mocktail well to achieve a frothy consistency that resembles a cocktail.
