Fall just wouldn’t be fall without pumpkin spice everything! From lattes to candles and now even cocktails, it seems like it’s everywhere this time of year. Although pumpkin spice rocketed in popularity when Starbucks introduced their Pumpkin Spice Latte in 2003, it’s actually been around since 1675 during the spice trade. It was then officially published in an American cookbook in 1796 and then sold and marketed as a blend by McCormick in 1934. Pumpkin spice ingredients are a blend of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and sometimes allspice. This Pumpkin Spice Martini combines all the wonderful pumpkin spice flavors with the addition of BOBA POPS. So, what are BOBA POPS? They are small liqueur filled pearls that pop in your mouth releasing the wonderful liqueur inside. The POPS stand for Pearls of Popping Spirits. They come in numerous flavors but I’m using, you guessed it, pumpkin spice which goes perfect in this cocktail. It’s like fall in a glass. Cheers!
