Want A Boozy Version Of Your Favorite Fall Drink? Try Out This Pumpkin Spice White Russian
The White Russian is a classic cocktail that’s stood the test of time, finding its way from swanky bars to our very own at-home bar carts.
But as the leaves begin to change and the air starts to cool, you might find yourself looking for a bit more of an autumnal twist.
Enter the Pumpkin Spice White Russian: a reimagination of this staple beverage that is perfect for dinner parties or just curling up on the couch with your dog.
Why Pumpkin Spice?
Isn’t it obvious? As soon as fall rolls around, people across the country get this crazy itch for all things pumpkin. From lattes to pies to even pumpkin-themed makeup looks, the craving is real.
And for most millennials, it’s almost nostalgic. Practically everyone remembers sipping on a PSL before heading off to an 8:00 a.m. lecture. Or, you might more fondly remember baking pumpkin pies with your loved ones before a big get-together.
The point is that the Pumpkin Spice White Russian offers a sophisticated (and boozy) nod to those memories. So, here’s how to make this drink that is both delicious and heartwarmingly familiar.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 2 ounces Cream
- 1-ounce Coffee Liqueur
- 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice Mix
- Cinnamon

The best part about this cocktail is its simplicity. First, grab your favorite cocktail glass and fill it with ice. This will ensure your drink stays chilly from your first sip to your last.
Next, pour in two ounces of vodka (this is the base of your beverage) before adding one ounce of coffee liqueur. Afterward, sprinkle in one-half teaspoon of pumpkin spice mix.
Then, slowly pour two ounces of cream over the top and watch as it interacts with the alcohol to form some dreamy swirls in your glass.
At this point, you can grab a cocktail stirrer or spoon to gently blend the mixture. Finally, to top off your drink, you can add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon as garnishes.
By the end, you’ll practically be holding the essence of fall in just one glass. And it’s important to remember that while this drink packs a punch of flavor, it can also serve as an experience.
Have a date night at home with your partner, and try your hand at making this cocktail. Or, invite friends over for a pumpkin painting party and wow them with your bartending skills.
However you choose to indulge in this drink, it’ll be your go-to for the rest of this season.
