Pumpkin Russian

The Pumpkin Spice Latte gets an adult upgrade with this fall twist on a White Russian: a delicious Pumpkin Russian cocktail!

If you’re still searching for the perfect fall or Halloween cocktail, look no further. I’ve got you covered with this super simple, delightfully delicious Pumpkin Russian!

The Pumpkin Russian is a seasonal version of the original White Russian, made famous by the movie The Big Lebowski. The first time I’d ever heard of the coffee flavored, heavy cream-laced cocktail was when my husband forced me to watch The Big Lebowski so that I could understand half of his movie references. I did learn the references, but more importantly, I learned about the White Russian.

My festive fall version is a fun twist on the White Russian. It’s still creamy and delicious. It’s still super easy to make with only three ingredients. BUT it’s got the delicious pumpkin spice flavor that is everything fall.

It’s the perfect cocktail for sipping by the fireplace or a great after-dinner drink. It’s also the preferred trick-or-treating beverage to add to your coffee cup to help you deal with hundreds of screaming children showing up at your door in questionable costumes begging you for candy.

I like to use the natural coffee creamer because it’s made with just a handful of ingredients and no oils, but if you’re trying to watch your sugar intake, there are sugar-free versions available that also help control calories a bit. So next time you’re in the mood for a sweet after dinner cocktail, or NOT in the mood for costumed kids hyped up on sugar, sit back, relax, and pour yourself a nice Pumpkin Russian. The Dude abides.
