I’m not much of a mixologist, but I was inspired to tend bar after seeing Erin’s recipe for pumpkin spice latte martinis – what a great idea, I didn’t even know pumpkin liqueur existed! When POM Wonderful recently offered to send samples of their new iced coffees, I immediately thought about Erin’s creation and knew I wanted to try their iced coffee in a pumpkin martini of my own! We received samples of Café au Lait and Chocolate flavors, and the Chocolate flavor was ok, but the Café au Lait was delicious. I mixed the iced coffee with pumpkin liqueur, vodka, and butterscotch schnapps this weekend and was pleasantly surprised about well the drinks turned out! They were so yummy, in fact, that I couldn’t stop at just one… Thanks to Erin for the inspiration and to POM Wonderful for the Café au Lait Iced Coffee!

    I don’t often choose mixed drinks, but this one sounds awesome! I would definitely order this off of a bar menu.

    Pumpkin liqueur, butterscotch schnapps, and POM iced coffee??!! Oh my goodness, how did I not know that such glorious delights existed! I am in raptures, just imagining the flavors…

    YOU ARE MY HERO with this drink. You can bet your last dollar I am going to the local liquor store to find this liqueur!! Itll be the hit of Thanksgiving!

  7. Kelly says:

    I’m not generally much of a mixologist myself although that drink looks and sounds delicious. If you like mixed drinks by the way I highly recommend Barbara Lynch’s Drink in Southie. It’s pretty fantastic.

  8. Juliana says:

    *Don’t really like alcohol anyways!

  18. Kristin says:

    That might just have to make an appearance at Thanksgiving. YUM!

  19. Nicole says:

    Genius! Pure genius! I, too, have those POM Iced Coffee samples and I’m ashamed to say, I haven’t tried them yet :( They look good and people seem to like them but I wanted to make something with them versus just drinking them straight out of the bottle. Great idea! You are so creative! I love it. We should drink these at our neighborhood block party ;)

  20. sophia says:

    I’m not an alcohol drinker, so I’ll be a wimp and order this virgin, please! :-]

  21. Joanne says:

    Pumpkin liqeur sounds dangerous. Only because I would be compelled to drink all of it in one sitting! what a great martini. (And so much cheaper than the 8-13 dollars it would cost in a bar!!)

  22. megan says:

    What a great cocktail! And at a $1.50, what a bargain. This would be at least $8.oo a at bar around here!

  23. Selba says:

    Wow… pumpkin martinis! must try it someday! yes, only if I’m in a cold weather :)

  24. That sounds like a delicious mix! I love all the flavors in this.

  25. wow, pumpkin liqueur? I’ve never had that! Sounds like a yummy mix!

  27. Wendy says:

    Genius! Sounds delicious.

  28. Erin says:

    So…when’s happy hour? This is a seriously inspired martini!

  29. Emily says:

    Wowwww I like it. I am all about martinis and pumpkin. And coffee. Brilliant!

  30. sophia says:

    Wow, Kerstin! you have outdone yourself with this one. And with POMx coffee, too! AND pumpkin! I’m not much into alcohol, but you’re gonna turn me into a drunk with this one!

  31. Debbie says:

    Sounds delicious…great combinations!

  32. cheffresco says:

    YUUM!! I have never heard of pumpkin liquor either, how amazing!

  33. Kerstin says:

    Thanks everyone! I’m enjoying one of these right now :)

    Monica – I found it in the first large liquor store we went to by the schnapps. The brand they had was Hiram Walker and the bottle says it’s a special seasonal flavor.

    Nicole – Yes, for sure :)

  34. nora@ffr says:

    oh wow!! they are soo pretty :)

  35. Yum Yucky says:

    Oh gawsh. This reminds of the fact that I’ve never even tried a regular Martini. I need to get with it.

  36. Oooooh! I love your twist on this! It sounds so good! And… my friend who is a buyer/manager at a liquor said he has heard that they might stop producing the Starbucks liqueur. So it’s nice to know you can still make a tasty drink with other ingredients!
