What’s in a Pumpkin Spice White Russian
This white russian co*cktail puts a fun twist on a classic drink. Add pumpkin spice creamer to make it a pumpkin white russian, and enjoy a tasty fall co*cktail!
- Vodka: Try to use a good quality or middle of the road vodka. A good rule of thumb is that your co*cktails will only ever be as good as your liquor!
- Pumpkin Spice Creamer: Any brand works! You can use a plant-based creamer as well, most stores have plenty of options.
- Kahlua: This liqueur adds a subtle coffee flavor that’s SO good!
- Garnishes: Pumpkin pie spice and whipped cream really seal the deal on that sweet fall flavor.

What makes this white russian taste like pumpkin?
Pumpkin spice creamer is what gives this white russian its pumpkin flair! Typically, white russians feature cream, but pumpkin creamer is the star of the show in this autumnal recipe.
Does a pumpkin white russian have caffeine?
Yes, but not a lot. 1.5 oz of Kahlua has approximately 5 mg of caffeine. For comparison, your average cup of coffee has about 200 mg of caffeine.
Can I make it dairy free?
Yes! Just use plant-based pumpkin creamer.
Serving Suggestions
co*cktail hour might just be my favorite time of day. Serve these pumpkin spice white russians with some of the best fall finger foods like Halloween Chex Mix and Sweet Potato Souffle Cups.

Can you make these in a pitcher amount? So I do not have to keep making individual ones?

I am sorry, the ads are sadly necessary to keep this site going so you can have access to free recipes. There is an option at the top of the website to jump straight down to the recipe and skip everything in between and it allows you to print a recipe that is printer-friendly.
