Pumpkin Pie Martinis

This recipe is from Rachael Ray's Everyday magazine

Ice cubes
2 ounces (1/4 cup) vanilla vodka
2 ounces (1/4 cup) crème de cacao
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Whipped cream, for garnish

1) Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add the vanilla vodka, crème de cacao, heavy cream and pumpkin pie spice and shake well.
2) Dip the rims of 2 martini glasses into a bowl of whipped cream. Strain the cocktail into the glasses.

I made this last year on Halloween when we had our friends Kyle and Kim over to dish out candy to the 5.5 children who showed up at our house. This year I'll be making a few tweaks.

1) I'm going to infuse the vodka with the pumpkin pie spice a few days ahead of time. Last time, the pumpkin pie spice just sort of sat in the bottom of the martini glass
2) I may just spray the whip cream directly on the glass. Dipping mean the whipped cream was all over the glass.
