We’re halfway through fall, which means that pumpkin mania is at an all-time high—and now is the perfect time to enjoy it. For your evening fix, a cocktail shaker and take the autumnal craving to the next level with a pumpkin pie martini! (Yes, we’re going there.)

Last year, the espresso martini swooped in as the United States’ favorite cocktail, with sales increasing 300% over the previous three years. The resurgence of the ‘90s cocktail has furthered the popularity of the classic martini. Meanwhile, Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte changed the face of fall in 2003—the company has sold more than 600 million PSLs since its debut. 

Now, these sweet beverages are coalescing into one delicious cocktail. The hashtag #pumpkinpiemartini has generated more than 430k views on TikTok, with influencers sharing their version of the delightfully creamy, pumpkin-cinnamon concoction.
