Step 1

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Step 2

Add pumpkin puree, simple syrup, vodka, Bailey's, and pumpkin pie spice; shake for about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Pour shaken mixture through a strainer into a martini or cocktail glass.

Step 4

Sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice and garnish with a cinnamon stick, if desired.

Step 5

To make simple syrup, place equal parts water and granulated sugar in a saucepan {I usually do 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar}. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is completely dissolved. Cool.

Step 6

For sugar & spice rims on your glasses, combine a bit of granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a shallow dish. Use your fingertip dipped in water to wet the rim of each glass, all the way around. Dip each rim into the sugar and spice mixture to coat. Set aside.
