Dairy-Free, Creamy, and Made for Fall in San Diego
Shake up your fall routine with a pumpkin spice espresso martini that’s as smooth as it is seasonal. This version trades heavy cream for LuvMylk’s locally made Pumpkin Spice Hemp Milk — giving the classic espresso martini a rich, nutty flavor with a subtle pumpkin finish. The result is a cocktail that feels indulgent but still light enough to enjoy after dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 oz espresso (freshly brewed and slightly cooled)
- 1 oz Kahlúa
- 1 oz vanilla vodka
- 1 oz LuvMylk Pumpkin Spice Hemp Milk
- ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Optional garnish: cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake hard for about 15 seconds to build a creamy, frothy top.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg.
The key is the shake — that’s what gives the drink its signature texture. Serve immediately and sip while the foam is still silky.
Why Hemp Milk Belongs in Cocktails
Hemp milk gives this drink its body without the heaviness of dairy. It blends easily, holds its texture, and doesn’t separate when shaken. That makes it ideal for espresso martinis, where the goal is a smooth, balanced sip. LuvMylk’s Pumpkin Spice blend is crafted in San Diego with cold-pressed hemp seeds and real pumpkin spice. No gums, no fillers, and no dairy — just clean, plant-based ingredients that elevate the cocktail’s flavor.
Simple Syrup Tip
Make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool before using. For a cozy fall twist, add a cinnamon stick or a splash of vanilla extract while it simmers.
The Fall Drink You’ll Want on Repeat
This pumpkin spice espresso martini feels like a seasonal treat but doesn’t rely on syrups or cream. LuvMylk’s hemp milk keeps it creamy and balanced, while the espresso adds depth and energy. Every sip is smooth, spiced, and just sweet enough.
Perfect for dinner parties, cozy nights in, or when you want a dessert cocktail that’s plant-based and proudly made in San Diego.
