Main Ingredients
- 4 liters apple cider (apple juice can be substituted)
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher or container, pour in the apple cider, then add the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
- Stir Thoroughly: Mix all the ingredients well until the sugars dissolve completely and the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated into the liquid for a smooth consistency.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill.
- Serve: Fill individual glasses with ice cubes, then pour the pumpkin juice over the ice.
- Garnish: Add a cinnamon stick to each glass, and optionally, an apple slice for added decoration and flavor.
- Stir Before Serving: Give the juice a good stir before pouring each serving to prevent any settling of the pumpkin puree and spices.
Notes
- Apple cider can be replaced with apple juice if preferred or for a lighter sweetness.
- Adjust the sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference and the type of apple cider used.
- For a spicier kick, increase the pumpkin pie spice or add a pinch of ground cinnamon separately.
- Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and stir well before each subsequent serving.
- This recipe is naturally vegetarian and can be made vegan if apple cider is confirmed vegan-friendly.
