Samantha Nicole Ahhh such satisfaction in a cocktail glass! Pecan Pie Martini really does capture the sugary, creamy, nutty flavor… it even comes with a tiny crunch in the form of a brown-sugar-and-pecan-dipped rim. A little boozy with a whole lot of autumn fun in a glass, the Pecan Pie Martini helps bring out the thankful feelings sip by sip.
Ingredients
For the rim:
- 1/4 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
For the martini:
- ice, to taste
- 1 ounce pecan-flavored vodka
- 1 ounce Irish cream liqueur
- 1/2 ounce vanilla-flavored vodka
- 2 ounces heavy cream
Directions
Step 1 –In a food processor, add the pecans and the brown sugar and pulse until the pecans are ground.
Step 2 –Transfer the pecan mixture to a bowl.
Step 3 –On a small plate big enough to fit the rim of the cocktail glass, add the maple syrup.
Step 4 –Dip the rim of the cocktail glass into the maple syrup and then into the pecan mixture, twisting slightly and gently to ensure the entire rim is well-coated.
Step 5 –In a shaker, add the ice.
Step 6 –Pour the pecan-flavored vodka, the Irish cream, the vanilla-flavored, and the heavy cream over the ice and gently shake to combine.
Step 7 –Strain the mixture into the serving glass.
Step 8 –Serve.
