Pumpkin Pecan Whisky

There's nothing that screams 'fall is here' than a pumpkin and pecan combination. This delicious cocktail is made with pecan praline whiskey, pumpkin spice Irish cream, and caramel vodka. It reminds me of my favorite pie recipe- pumpkin praline pie. YUM.

Pumpkin + Pecan Praline = Perfect Pair

This was the perfect cocktail to sip on while listening to a spooky podcast! A few years ago I made Sally Baking Addiction's Pecan Praline Pumpkin Pie. Y'all- it is amazing!! I usually make it 3 times during the fall season.

I like pumpkin pie, but I always felt like it was lacking in the texture area. This pie is great because you get the traditional pumpkin pie, but you also get a sweet nutty crunch with each bite as well.

This cocktail was inspired by that pie. I used Select Club's Pecan Praline Whisky. This whisky tastes exactly like pecan praline without being too sweet. I could definitely drink this alone on the rocks.

For this cocktail, I mixed in pumpkin spice Irish cream and caramel vodka for all the fall pie flavors. Lastly, I gave my glass a brown sugar rim. YUM!

Pumpkin Pecan Praline Whisky Ingredients

✽ Pecan Praline Whisky: I highly recommend Select Club's Precan Praline Whisky if you can find it. It tastes just like pecan, and isn't too sweet! If you can't find it though, any pecan-flavored whisky will work.

✽ Pumpkin Spice Irish Cream: A favorite flavored with pumpkin spice. If you can't find pumpkin spice Irish cream, a pumpkin spice liqueur will work in its place.

✽ Caramel Vodka: I tried other alternatives in place of caramel vodka such as butterscotch schnapps, but I kept coming back to caramel. It rounds out the pumpkin cream and pecan praline whisky for this pie-inspired cocktail.

✽ Brown Sugar: A brown sugar rim completes this cocktail.

✽ Freshly grated nutmeg: A bit of nutmeg sprinkled on top of the cocktail adds even more delicious fall flavor.
