Adding Pumpkin spice Liqueur and changing out the vodka for a whipped cream flavor says Fall in a big way.

The Alcohol:
This is the booze we used to make our pumpkin spice liqueur drink.
- you can choose whatever brands you enjoy for your pumpkin spice liqueur. Both Kahlua and Baileys make pumpkin spice liqueur.
- We used smirnoff whipped cream vodka and highly recommend it for the added creamy flavor. It really enhances this cocktail.
- There really is no replacing the kahlua in my opinion. Kahlua is my favorite coffee liqueur. It just has a flavor that is just right for the White Russian.
Notes on the remaining ingredients:
- The heavy cream could be replaced with half and half or even whole milk to reduce the calories in this Fall cocktail recipe.
- We used pumpkin pie spice and sugar to rim the glass. This is optional but really adds to the Fall Vibe and flavor.
- We didn’t use cinnamon sticks but you could serve your drink with a cinnamon stir stick if you wish.
- The simple syrup is only used to wet the rim of the glass. The sugar spice blend will stick to the syrup.
How to Rim The Glass:
Here is the method for rimming your glass with sugar and pumpkin spice seasoning. Rimming the glass is optional but gives your white russian drink a cozy fall feel.
