- Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
- Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, and a cinnamon stick.

Notes
For a smoother martini, whisk the pumpkin puree in a small bowl before adding it to the cocktail shaker to break up any clumps. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less simple syrup. For a vegan version, use coconut cream instead of half-and-half and ensure your Irish cream liqueur is vegan-friendly. To make ahead, combine the pumpkin puree, simple syrup, and pumpkin spice liqueur in a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Rim martini glasses a few hours in advance and store them in a cool, dry place.
