KVUE at Home: Pumpkin spice espresso martinis

AUSTIN, Texas — Every month, KVUE'S Hannah Rucker will be mixing up a new delicious cocktail at home as part of KVUE's new at-home YouTube series.

It only makes sense to kick off the month of October with a pumpkin spice espresso martini.

Here's what you'll need:

For the rim:

• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Honey to help the sugar stick and add flavor
• Cinnamon sticks, if you're feeling fancy

For the cocktail:

• 9 oz of Merry's or Bailey's Pumpkin Spice Irish Liqueur 
• 3 oz of Kahlua
• 4 oz espresso, chilled

Instructions:

• Put about 6-8 ice cubes inside your martini shaker, measure out the proper amount of your Bailey's, Kahlua and espresso into separate glasses.
• Pour each liquid into the martini shaker.
• Shake the martini shaker for a few minutes, make sure to secure the top to avoid a mess.
• Slowly pour your beverage into the martini glass.
• Add your sugar to the rim and a cinnamon stick to the top.

Voila! Enjoy a delicious Fall beverage with your friends.
