Customize:
One of the best things about cocktails is the ability to personalize them to your taste. Here are a few ideas to customize your Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini:
- Add your favorite coffee toppings.
- Swap out the regular espresso for decaf if you are sensitive to caffeine.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or any other favorite spices.
- Add caramel sauce for extra sweetness
- Choose whether or not to add creamer – this changes the drink entirely.
Don’t be afraid to experiment and find the perfect combination that suits your preferences. After all, the best cocktail is the one you enjoy the most!
