Pumpkin Cocktail
I have a thing for hot drinks. They’re just so cozy and comforting, especially when the nights start getting chilly during the fall season. I also have a thing for pumpkin pie, so when pumpkin season rolls around, I go ALL in on pumpkin recipes. This Hot Pumpkin Cocktail is the perfect combination of the two, and it is so delicious!
It’s a beautiful combination of pumpkin, Irish Cream, pumpkin pie spice, and milk. Serve it warm for the most comforting cocktail you’ve ever had!
This is the perfect thing to sip on after a big Thanksgiving dinner, or any time you want to combine your nightcap and dessert into one. The best dessert drink ever!
Make this Pumpkin Pie Cocktail for a delicious after dinner drink!
How to Make this Pumpkin Pie Cocktail
This fall cocktail is the easiest thing to make. It’s the perfect dessert cocktail, so you can get your sweet tooth fix and after dinner drink mixed into one!
Ingredients & Substitutes:
- Milk (I like almond milk for this recipe, but you can use any milk you prefer)
- Cinnamon Vanilla Bailey’s (substitute regular Irish Cream if needed and add a bit of cinnamon)
- Pumpkin Pie Vodka (if you can’t find this flavor, vanilla vodka works too)
- Pumpkin Puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- Pumpkin Pie Spice (here’s my homemade recipe)
How to Make it:
-
Bring the almond milk, Irish cream, and vodka to a boil in a large pot
-
Once boiling, turn down heat to low and stir in pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Stir quickly to incorporate.
-
Serve warm, topped with cool whip or whipped cream, and garnish with a little more pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
Use regular whipped cream or try our Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream for even more flavor!

I would recommend not bringing it to a boil or you boil off the alcohol then what’s the point? Heat until it’s steaming, then add the rest of the ingredients!
Definitely don’t want to boil out the alcohol!
I’ve never had anything with pumpkin though it sounds like it’s really good! I want to try this! In your ingredient list it said pumpkin pie pisce and I can’t figure out if that’s a typo and you meant spice or if that’s an actual word! Lol sorry for such a weird question. Like I said, never had pumpkin anything, except the pumpkin baked with sugar.
Haha it’s a typo…I’m so sorry!! I am fixing it now, thank you so much for letting me know!! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and love the cocktail!
Do you use a large can of pumpkin, or a small can? I have a large can currently but wasn’t sure if that was too much.
I used a regular/small can. You can just play around with it. I would add about a cup and a half and go from there. Hope you love it!
Want to make this & Was wondering if I could keep it on warm iN a crocLoot?
Yes you definitely could! I would recommend making it on the stovetop to make sure the pumpkin is well incorporated, and then you could definitely keep in warm in a crockpot. I’ll probably do that same thing next time :)
Looks delicious but doesn’t the cooking of the Irish cream and the vodka remove the alcohol? I had always heard this so I am just wondering…thanks for the yummy recipes!!
http://www.ochef.com/165.htm I did some googling…just thought I’d share my findings! There is hope for this cocktail after all!! Lol
You are awesome!!!! Yeah I’m hoping since this drink is just heated up and not actually boiled or anything that the alcohol stays in. Wouldn’t want it to go away!!! haha
You just turned pumpkin pie into cocktail hour. In other words, I <3 you.
Ha! Thanks for stopping by Erin! Love your site!! Hope you love the recipe :)
I love this! I usually have a cup of tea at night but I’m thinking one of these nights I should give this baby a try instead!
