This Pumpkin Spice White Russian cocktail is a favorite drink based off this classic White Russian recipe. The White Russian gained a new surge of popularity after it was constantly featured in the movie, the Big Lebowski and now is quite a popular cocktail.

How to Make a Pumpkin Spice White Russian

STEP 1: Mix a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of pumpkin spice together in a shallow bowl or small plate (like a saucer).

STEP 2: Add simple syrup or corn syrup to a separate small plate.

STEP 3: Roll the rim of your low ball glass or old fashioned glass in the syrup. Then roll it in the sugar mixture to cover the rim. Then fill your glass with ice.

STEP 4: In a cocktail shaker add vodka, Kahlua, creamer and just a pinch of pumpkin spice. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake until the outside of the shaker is chilled.

STEP 5: Strain the Pumpkin Spice White Russian mixture into your prepared glass.

STEP 6: Top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Substitutions for Coffee Creamer

If you can’t find pumpkin spice creamer or need a lactose free cream, here are a few alternatives you can try and still get a delicious Pumpkin White Russian:

• If the local store doesn’t have pumpkin creamer, use heavy cream or whole milk and add in a teaspoon of pumpkin puree.
• If you need a lactose free creamer, you an buy coffee creamers made from oat milk, almond milk, soy milk or coconut milk. I do caution against using coconut milk, simply because it will change the flavor profile. Again, if it isn’t pumpkin flavored, add in a teaspoon of pumpkin puree. Please note, that using alternative milks will most likely make less creamier cocktails.

TIP: When making substitutes, continue to add pumpkin puree until the flavor suits your tastes.

Variations

Here are a few easy variations you can make to this Pumpkin Spice White Russian recipe:

• Add a tablespoon of pumpkin puree for a more pronounced pumpkin flavor.
• You can substitute regular vodka with pumpkin vodka or vanilla vodka. Both will work great in this recipe.
• Garnish with a cinnamon stick and swirl it into your drink to add a touch more of cinnamon flavors.
• If you want to go all out fancy, crush a few graham crackers and mix it in with the brown sugar and pumpkin spice for the rim.

A Pumpkin Spice White Russian is the perfect fall drink to serve up for a fun pumpkin cocktail. A sweet cocktail with pumpkin, coffee and creamy flavors that’s perfect for serving your friends and family this fall.
