Keto Pumpkin Pie Martini (Low-Carb Thanksgiving Cocktail) is a creamy, spiced holiday drink blended with sugar-free pumpkin flavor and smooth spirits for a festive sip without the carbs. This Keto Pumpkin Pie Martini (Low-Carb Thanksgiving Cocktail) recipe delivers cozy fall flavor, easy prep, and clean ingredients perfect for Thanksgiving gatherings, holiday parties, weight loss, and anyone craving a dessert-like cocktail that stays fully keto-friendly.
About This Recipe
If Thanksgiving had a flavor, it would taste exactly like this. The Keto Pumpkin Pie Martini takes all the cozy notes of pumpkin pie — cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and a touch of whipped cream — and turns them into a silky cocktail that feels like dessert in a glass.
Most holiday cocktails are sugar bombs disguised as drinks. This one skips the syrupy mess and keeps it clean with low-carb ingredients: unsweetened pumpkin purée, heavy cream, vodka, and a dash of sugar-free pumpkin spice syrup or erythritol. You get that same velvety pie flavor, but with zero guilt (and none of the carb coma).
The texture is lush but balanced — the heavy cream gives body, while vodka and ice keep it crisp. You can serve it shaken over ice or chilled straight up in a martini glass with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s elegant, decadent, and looks like you spent all afternoon making it, when in reality it takes about five minutes.
Best of all, it’s flexible. Want to skip the booze? Add cold brew instead of vodka and turn it into a Pumpkin Pie Mocktail Latte. Prefer it hot? Warm the base in a saucepan for a “pumpkin toddy” vibe.
It’s everything you love about Thanksgiving in one glass — creamy, spiced, comforting — but still keto enough to keep you in ketosis through the holidays.
