Start by rimming your glass with maple syrup and graham cracker crumbs.

Set the glass aside and fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Add in two ounces of vanilla vodka, one ounce of cream liqueur, and half an ounce of your homemade pumpkin spice syrup.

Shake the mixture well and then pour it into the rimmed glass.

Combine brown sugar, water, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin pie spice in a saucepan and heat over medium heat.

Once the syrup has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool.

Store it in the fridge for up to two weeks.
