Tips for Success

  • For this fall drink recipe, you must use pureed pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix. They are different!
  • Add a little more sugar if you want a sweeter beverage.
  • For a fizzy take add some ginger ale, cream soda, or even lemon-lime soda.
  • Fresh apple cider will add tons of richness to the drink.

Make a Large Batch and Storing

This is a single-serve drink, but if you want to make it for a crowd, you can easily multiply the recipe.

Add ingredients to a blender, mix, and serve over ice. Shake well before drinking, as the ingredients may settle in the refrigerator.
