Sip in Style: Why the Pecan Pie Martini Is the Ultimate Fall Accessory

Posted by on
Just tried this and it’s a hit! Still love my Pumpkin spice lattes for fall but they’re a little too sweet for me now, taste buds have changed😏, well, I have my moods, lol😉. My new seasonal obsession? Pecan Pie Martini, a cocktail that’s basically a slice of dessert you can sip. Sweet (low-sugar options work too!), nutty, and just boozy enough to give a lil warm buzz...

Check out the recipe below, you can opt for a healthier version with sugar-free ingredients as I did, or embrace the classic sugar rush… no judgment, lol.  Let me know if you tried and if you added a lil 'pizazz' to your version.


Ingredients (1 cocktail)
  • 1.5 oz vanilla vodka (sugar-free option brands: Three Olives, Chay)
  • 1 oz pecan liqueur 
  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (optional: 'Baileys Deliciously Light' for less sugar/calories)
  • 1 oz butterscotch schnapps (or sugar-free syrups like DaVinci Gourmet or Amoretti)
  • 1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half (optional for creamier version)
  • Crushed pecans & caramel sauce for garnish (sugar-free caramel sauce options work too)
Instructions
  1. Prepare the glass:: Rim a martini glass with caramel sauce and dip into crushed pecans
  2. Mix the cocktail:: In a shaker, add ice, vodka, pecan liqueur, butterscotch schnapps, and cream (if using)., Shake 15–20 seconds until chilled and combined
  3. Serve::  Strain into the prepared glass., Drizzle caramel on top and sprinkle crushed pecans for garnish.
Quick Hack: For a sweeter, more “pie-like” experience, add a splash of simple syrup, Cool Whip or a pinch of cinnamon. 

Tasty Sprinkle: Rim your glass with crushed pecans, drizzle caramel, post a pic!
