The Pumpkin White Russian keeps vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream, then seasons the sweet coffee frame with pumpkin spice syrup. It drinks like a cold pumpkin latte with a real spirit spine. Served over ice, it is richer than an espresso martini and more familiar than a puree-heavy dessert martini.

“White Russian riffs followed the same pumpkin-spice wave as coffee-shop lattes: a familiar cream-and-coffee template that reads instantly as fall.”

Bartender's Note
Shake the cream with the pumpkin spice syrup before floating if you want a uniform pumpkin-cream layer. Keep the syrup measured so the coffee liqueur does not get buried.
