DIFFERENT WAYS TO SERVE THIS PUMPKIN SPICE WHITE RUSSIAN
You can serve this cocktail mixed together or unmixed like the picture above. Pouring the pumpkin spice creamer into the liqueur and leaving it unmixed makes a beautiful drink. However, you may get a sweet top and a strong bottom.
The best way to serve is by shaking all the ingredients together in a cocktail shaker. This will ensure the top isn’t too sweet and the bottom too strong. It will mix it nicely to give you a balanced and enjoyable drink from start to finish.

I love this! I think this will be perfect to serve with dessert after Thanksgiving dinner. Any recommendations for a whip cream substitute?
You can use a almond milk or coconut milk whipped cream. These are available to purchase at Walmart by the regular whipped cream.
