Pumpkin Spice White Russians

Have y'all ever tried seasonal White Russian drinks?! I am so hooked. I wasn't a big coffee fan until recently, and I've never been a big milk fan so White Russians weren't always my cup of tea but last holiday season my boyfriend got me try a peppermint flavored one he likes to make and I was obsessed. It was easily my new favorite holiday cocktail that just tasted like coziness and Christmas. As the holiday season is approaching us I've been craving one but just can't justify getting all Christmasy just yet. When I went to the grocery store over the weekend I saw the pumpkin spice Kahlua and got more excited than I probably should have because voila, I could have my seasonal White Russian with a "fall" twist! For any movie buffs out there I also finally saw The Big Lebowski this year and can't help but love this drink a little more as it's "The Dude's" signature. This rendition was so yummy and a perfect drink to serve up to guests this season or just to cozy up by the fire with a movie on.

• 2 oz. vodka
• 2 oz. peppermint spice Kahlua
