Pumpkin Pie Martinis

I love to make seasonal cocktails. My favorite fall drink is the Pumpkin Pie Martini. It is a simple recipe and it tastes like fall to me. These are strong, so be careful.
Cinnamon Sugar
1 part Pumpkin Liquor (such as Hiram Walker's Pumpkin Spice)
1 part Vanilla Vodka (such as Stoli Vanil)
1 part half and half
Splash of Goldschlager (this is optional)
 
Place the cinnamon sugar in a shallow bowl or plate.
 
Lightly moisten the rim of your martini glass with water.
 
Dip the rim of the martini glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
 
Place all the ingredients in a shaker, shake and pour into the martini glasses.

You can also make a pitcher instead of single serve.  Just add all of the liquors into a pitcher. When your guests are ready for them, simply pour the mixture into a shaker, add the half and half and shake. Adding the half and half to the pitcher can cause it to separate.

Put wine charms on the martini glasses. I found Halloween themed ones. A pack of 6 cost $1.99. This helps people to remember the glass and they are cute. Place them on the glasses before your guests arrive - don't count on them to do it.
