These Pumpkin Spice Mudslides are a fun fall twist on classic mudslides made with Baileys, Kahlua, vodka, and pumpkin pie spice. This easy cocktail is ready in just 3 minutes and is perfect for Thanksgiving, fall parties, or an after-dinner drink.

If you haven’t tried classic Mudslides, think of them as an adult milkshake! I have a Frozen Mudslide recipe that’s always a favorite, but this pumpkin version is perfect when fall rolls around. With just 4 main ingredients, these Pumpkin Spice Mudslides are quick to make and perfect for Thanksgiving guests, fall get-togethers, or an after-dinner drink.
I typically make this recipe with original Baileys, Kahlua, and regular vodka because they’re easy to find and keep things simple. If you can find Pumpkin Spice Baileys, you can use that for even more pumpkin flavor. I’ve also made these with caramel vodka, which adds a delicious caramel flavor. Top your drink with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an easy garnish, and it’s ready to enjoy!

Tips & Variations
- Try Pumpkin Spice Baileys: If you can find it, swap the original Baileys for Pumpkin Spice Baileys for even more pumpkin flavor. If you have Baileys left over, try my Baileys Peppermint Martini next.
- Use caramel vodka: I've made this with caramel vodka too, and it adds a delicious caramel flavor that pairs well with the pumpkin pie spice.
- Add a fun garnish: Top with whipped cream, extra pumpkin pie spice, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Make more than one: This recipe makes one drink, but it's easy to double or triple for guests. Just multiply each ingredient by the number of servings you need and shake in batches so you don't overcrowd the cocktail shaker.
Pumpkin Spice Mudslide FAQs
Yes. Combine the alcohol and pumpkin pie spice ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve. Wait to shake it with ice until just before serving so it stays cold without becoming watered down.
Yes. Add everything to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well, then strain into your glass. A mason jar works great in a pinch.
