Pecan Pie Martini is a fancy dessert cocktail that’s easy to make at home. This creamy and sweet boozy drink has all the flavor of pecan pie.
The glass rims are coated with caramel sauce and chopped pecans for decoration and extra flavor. For more decadence, add a spoonful of whipped cream to each glass. So perfect for any kind of fall or holiday party.
Only 4 ingredients are needed to make this martini: Rumchata, Creme de Cacao, bourbon, and half-and-half.
Even though this is a bourbon cocktail, it has a totally smooth taste and I recommend it for people who don’t typically like bourbon drinks. I like using Maker’s Mark, but use whichever bourbon is your favorite. There are so many different ones to try these days.
This recipe makes 3 drinks but can easily be scaled down or up. You will need a cocktail shaker.
Tip: Rumchata is also really good in coffee. I sometimes use it instead of half-and-half.
Dessert Martinis are perfect for celebrating special occasions. They taste purely indulgent.

Asking the same question as Joni. How did you get these to look caramel colored?
I made the pecan pie martinis but mine were white not caramel colored as shown. How did you get the brown tint?
