This refreshing drink combines the rich, velvety texture of pumpkin puree with the crisp sweetness of apple cider and a hint of warm spices. Our twist on the classic recipe replaces ginger ale with Pureboost Cider Crush, adding a unique apple cider vinegar kick and a boost of clean energy to this seasonal favorite. Whether you're hosting a Halloween party or simply looking to savor the essence of fall, this mocktail offers a healthier alternative to sugary pumpkin-flavored drinks while still delivering all the comforting flavors you crave.
Preparation
Step 1: Create the Pumpkin Base
In a medium saucepan, combine pumpkin puree, apple cider, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Step 2: Cool and Prepare
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the pumpkin mixture to cool to room temperature. This step is crucial for maintaining the perfect temperature balance in your mocktail.
Step 3: Assemble the Mocktail
Fill glasses halfway with crushed ice. Pour the cooled pumpkin mixture over the ice until the glass is about three-quarters full. Top off each glass with Pureboost Cider Crush, gently stirring to combine the flavors.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
For a festive touch, garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Pumpkin Spice Mocktail.
