  2. Fill each prepared glass with crushed ice.
  3. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and Kahlua. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
  4. Carefully strain the vodka mixture into the prepared glasses over the crushed ice.

Notes

This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh. Store the pre-mixed vodka and Kahlua in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but serve the drink immediately for the best taste. Use clear glasses to show off your beautifully layered drink, and consider garnishing with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or a cinnamon stick for added flair.
