Pumpkin pie in a glass! Vodka is mixed with pumpkin puree, simple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and heavy cream.

2 ounces vodka
3 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
3 tablespoons simple syrup
1 dash ground cinnamon
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon heavy cream, more if desired
ice
Combine all ingredients in a shaker and mix well. Strain into large shot glasses or standard martini glasses. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, if desired.
If you use pumpkin pie filling instead of plain pumpkin puree, just omit the cinnamon and nutmeg.

I had some more pumpkin puree to use up after we tested the pumpkin martini recipe so I thought I'd go for something a little sweeter and more pumpkin pie-ish. The result was this tasty shot! The flavors are flexible so adjust to taste if desired. You can also use pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon and nutmeg.
