Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or grape juice
Spices Blend
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Carbonation and Garnishes
- 1/2 cup carbonated water or ginger ale
- Cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, or ground nutmeg for garnish
- Whipped cream or coconut cream (optional)
- Toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the spice blend: Combine ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in a small bowl to create the pumpkin spice mix that infuses the mocktail with its signature warm aroma.
- Mix the pumpkin puree and sweeteners: In a shaker or large glass, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to dissolve the sweeteners evenly into the pumpkin base.
- Add milk and apple cider vinegar: Pour your choice of milk or plant-based milk into the pumpkin mixture. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or grape juice to brighten the flavor and add depth.
- Stir in the spice blend: Sprinkle the prepared pumpkin spice mix into the liquid and stir vigorously until everything is well combined and fragrant.
- Add carbonation and chill: Top off your mocktail with carbonated water or ginger ale to add a refreshing fizz. Serve chilled over ice and garnish as desired with cinnamon sticks, whipped cream, or toasted pumpkin seeds.
Notes
- Adjust the maple syrup or honey gradually to balance sweetness and avoid overpowering the spices.
- Use freshly ground spices for a more vibrant flavor.
- Keep milk and pumpkin puree cold for a smooth and refreshing drink.
- Add carbonation last to maintain bubbles and fizz.
- Use real pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for authentic taste and texture.
