While you can buy pumpkin puree at any time of the year, this orange fruit shines brightly during the fall season. And, no, we’re not just talking about pumpkin spice lattes (although they’re a very important thing). From jack-o-lanterns to pumpkin bread, there are so many ways to use pumpkins during the fall.
Without a doubt, the pumpkin pie “grabs the cake” as the most iconic fall dessert. But who says you have to slave all day cooking one of these cakes? Believe it or not, you can make a pumpkin pie cocktail in minutes!
Of course, this pumpkin pie martini doesn’t replace a real cake, but it’s a sweet and easy way to liven up a party. Also, as we are adding Tribe CBD oil to this cocktail, it will surely soothe any family drama on the upcoming Thanksgiving Day!
CBD Pumpkin Cake Martini Recipe
In the pantheon of cakes, pumpkin is not so bad for our waist. In fact, many nutritionists argue pumpkin pie may be the healthiest traditional cake recipe.
Pumpkin is naturally high in many vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A. There is also evidence that pumpkin contains many antioxidants, which can reduce the risk of long-term health problems.
All of this is good news considering that one in five Americans claims to have eaten a whole pumpkin pie at least once in their lifetime. Yes, this is a real statistic from the American Pie Council!
However, there is a big difference between homemade pumpkin pies and those bought in the store. If you want to treat your body well, you should make a low or sugar-free pumpkin pie at home.
Fortunately, sugar-free pumpkin cans are not that hard to find. Plus, even if you’ve never cooked before, pumpkin pie is one of the easiest recipes for beginners.

One feature you may miss while grabbing your pumpkin martini is the crunchy cake crust. However, there are some fun ways to re-add some of that “crunch” to this seasonal cocktail.
For example, you can stick crushed Graham cookies on the edge of your martini glass with raw honey or maple syrup. Just be sure to grind these Graham cookies in a food processor until they are fine. For extra fun, you can add a little ground nutmeg or cinnamon to add festive flavors to this edging garnish.
