Pumpkin Spice White Russian Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Vodka: You could try using light rum or even gin if you wanna mix things up a bit
Kahlua: Tia Maria works pretty well as a substitute for coffee liqueur
Pumpkin Spice Creamer: If you can’t get it from the store, stir together some heavy cream with a drizzle of pumpkin puree and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice
Ice cubes: Crushed ice can be used if you dont have the standard cubes on hand

Pro Tips

• If you wanna make your drink extra chill and refreshing, pop your glass in the freezer for a bit before filling it with ice. This helps the cocktail stay colder longer.

• Try using larger, clearer ice cubes if you can find em. They melt slower so your drink won’t get watered down fast.

• If you’re feelin’ adventurous, sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin spice or even some cinnamon on top for an extra kick of flavor.

• Remember, it’s all about balance. Taste your drink as you go and tweak the amounts a little if you think one flavor’s taking over too much. Enjoy experimenting!
