How To Make The Perfect Pumpkin Martini

pumpkin martini

The perfect pumpkin martini is sweet, creamy, and flavorful. It’s made with real pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice—and it’s pure autumnal bliss. It’s also a delicious way to ring in the season.

The pumpkin martini is a delicious cocktail that is perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any fall gathering.

What you’ll need for this cocktail:

Martini Glasses

Vodka (flavored caramel or vanilla is best)

Heavy cream

Pure maple syrup

Canned pumpkin puree

Pumpkin pie spice

Vanilla extract

Graham crackers 

Cinnamon sticks

To make your very own pumpkin martini at home, follow these simple steps:

  1. Using two saucers, add crushed graham crackers to one and maple syrup to the other.
  2. Next, rim your glass in the maple syrup, then graham crackers well.
  3. Add vodka, heavy cream, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes.
  4. Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 30 seconds to 1 minute (your hands will get cold!).
  5. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with whipped cream, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon stick (optional).

But what if you don’t like pumpkin? Or, if you do like it, how can you make this seasonal cocktail even better? We’ve got the perfect solution: substitute apple cider for the pumpkin purée and top it with an apple slice.

It’s important to note that if you don’t drink alcohol, you can still enjoy this drink! To make it alcohol-free, use non-alcoholic vanilla syrup instead of vodka. This will give it the same flavor without the buzz.

We hope that this guide will help you make and enjoy your very own pumpkin martini in time for Halloween. If you try it out, be sure to send us a pic of how it turned out. We would love to feature your creations! Be Well-Omniley

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Cookies from Cake Mix

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Cookies from Cake Mix

Who doesn’t love a good pumpkin recipe? But let’s be honest, sometimes all the work involved with pumpkin bakes can get a little daunting. And by daunting, I mean killing any desire you might have to actually make something that includes those original orange gourds of fall. That’s when these salted caramel pumpkin cookies come in to save the day!

pumpkin cookies

These cookies are super easy to make, but they taste like you spent hours in your kitchen slaving over a hot stove. The caramel bits are rich and buttery, and the pumpkin puree gives them just the right amount of sweetness without being cloying. And let’s not forget about that salted caramel topping!

You only need 5 ingredients:

Spice Cake Mix

Pumpkin Puree

Pumpkin Pie Spice

Caramel Bits

Salted Caramel Frosting

The cookies are so easy to make. All you need is a super moist Spice Cake Mix. This recipe makes about 18 cookies, but you can easily double it. I would suggest storing these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freezing them for up to 3 months.

If you’re looking for a fall dessert that’s out of the box, give these salted caramel pumpkin cookies a try. The taste and the textures will surprise you, and the process is surprisingly simple.

Easy Buttermilk Pumpkin Biscuits

Easy Buttermilk Pumpkin Biscuits

If you’re looking for a delicious way to ring in pumpkin spice season at your house. Well, I have a recipe that fits the bill! Pumpkin biscuits are the perfect probiotic food for fall because of their seasonal flavors, but also because they’re high in beta-carotene, are a great source of vitamin C, and are low in calories. Also — did I mention they taste wonderful?

These pumpkin biscuits are a great way to celebrate fall. They’re delicious, moist, and full of seasonal flavors. You can enjoy them fresh out of the oven or reheated with some butter and honey on top!

THREE TIPS FOR PERFECT PUMPKIN BISCUITS

  1. Keep your cold ingredients cold. Store your buttermilk in the refrigeration until you are ready to use it; cube your butter and place it in the freezer 20 minutes prior to cutting it into your dough.
  2. Fold your wet mixture gently into the flour mixture just until it’s moistened. Add fold layers when kneading to create flaky layers.
  3. Use non-aluminum baking powder to avoid that metallic taste.

The recipe below makes about 6-10 biscuits. The size of your biscuit cutter will determine how many biscuits you get from this batch, but don’t worry — they’re so good that they’ll go fast anyway! So whether you make one dozen or two dozen (or more!), I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Be Well-Omniley

Shrimp and Corn Chowder Recipe

Shrimp and Corn Chowder Recipe

Fall is a time for hot soups and chowders, and this one is sure to please. This shrimp and corn chowder recipe makes an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. It’s warm and substantial, yet light and refreshing. My husband serves it with crusty homemade rolls while my son enjoys it by itself. Yum!

The creamy roux base is the perfect backdrop to the sweetness of shrimp and corn. The chowder is finished with a touch of seafood boil, which adds just enough heat to make it interesting without overwhelming the delicate flavors of the seafood. If you like your soup spicy, add a dash more seafood boil in the end.

The soup is easy to make and can be assembled in less than 30 minutes. It’s great for a weeknight meal or served at your next gathering of friends.
