You could literally give me anything with pumpkin in it + I would be thrilled beyond belief. Pumpkin spice counter cleaner? Oh, yeah. Pumpkin spice pasta? I'm there. So there.

All things pumpkin + orange aside, the holidays are my absolute favorite time of year. From September to January, I'm basically the happiest person alive.

I'm a doting hostess by nature, so I adore when friends + family come to town to gather around a perfectly prepared table and eat all of the good foods.

I love crafting signature cocktails themed around the holidays + this pie-tini just took the top spot for Thanksgiving.

I whipped these up for the fam when they arrived for a welcome dinner + everyone adored them; even my mother who is anti-all things pumpkin.

If you want to make it exactly the way I made it, I suggest sipping a glass of champers while preparing. There isn't a single situation bubbly doesn't pair well with,

Mixology 101:

You could skip making your simple syrup from scratch, but that wouldn't be very Martha of you. I also doubt Pumpkin Pie Simple Syrup is readily available in most stores.

Step 1 (Preparing Pumpkin Pie Simple)

1. Whisk together one cup cane sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan.

2. Bring to a simmer + whisk until spice is dissolved, about 5 minutes

3. Remove from heat + allow to stand for 30 minutes

Step 2 (Shake Things Up)

1. In a cocktail shaker, fill with ice + combine:

• 2 ounces Rumchata Cream

• 2 tablespoons Smirnoff Whipped Cream Vodka

• 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie simple syrup

• 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree

2. Shake for 30 seconds until chilled + frothy. Drizzle caramel (care-a-mel) sauce lightly across the bottom of your preferred fancy 'tini glass. Strain into chilled 'tini glass + enjoy right away.

3. Drape yourself in front of a Thanksgiving spread + pose with your delightfully prepared cocktail for the 'Gram like you just made the cover of Southern Living.
