Ingredients

Scale

Juice Base

  • 1 gallon (3.78 L) apple cider
  • 3 cups (710 ml) apricot juice
  • 15 oz (425 g) pumpkin puree

Sweeteners and Spices

  • 1/3 cup (73 g) brown sugar
  • 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract

Garnish

  • Cinnamon sticks for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher or beverage dispenser, pour in the apple cider, apricot juice, and pumpkin puree. Add the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine all the ingredients, ensuring the brown sugar dissolves completely and the spices distribute evenly.
  2. Chill and Serve: Place the pumpkin juice in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld. Serve the juice cold, and garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick to add a festive aroma and enhance the spiced flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar according to your taste.
  • For a fizzy version, add sparkling water or ginger ale just before serving.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned; if using canned, ensure it is pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Pumpkin pie spice can be substituted with a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if not available.
  • For a non-alcoholic festive twist, this recipe is perfect as is; to make it adult-friendly, consider adding a splash of spiced rum or bourbon.
