Just in time for Thanksgiving, this pumpkin pie espresso martini is the perfect cocktail.

If you love a good espresso martini, then you will love this pumpkin pie espresso martini which is so festive for fall, Thanksgiving and the holiday season.

Espresso martinis are my jam because your girl needs some espresso to keep her going and of course, vodka! This one is made with pumpkin, a dash of pumpkin spice, and topped with whipped cream as a nod to the beloved pumpkin pie around Thanksgiving. These are perfect to kick off the holiday while you’re watching the Thanksgiving parade in the morning or as an after dinner liquid dessert that’s not too overly sweet.

Scroll down for my recipe.  And if you love espresso martinis as much as I do, be sure to try my peppermint espresso martini or my gingerbread espresso martini for Christmas time!
