Easy Pumpkin Mocktail

Quick and Easy - If you have five minutes, you can craft this refreshing pumpkin pie mocktail. No advanced techniques or kitchen skills are necessary so it's absolutely beginner friendly.

True Pumpkin Flavor - My iced pumpkin mocktail uses real pumpkin puree for a beautiful orange color and the sweet earthy taste of pumpkin in every sip. But this ain't a one note drink--you'll also taste hints of autumn fruit, maple, and cozy spices.

I love mixing up creative mocktail recipes like my bubbly blood orange holiday mocktail, tart cherry juice mocktail for sleep, this easy ginger ale mocktail, and refreshing coconut water mocktail. And don't skip my creamy frozen piña colada mocktail or healthy mint mocktail!

And if you want something a lil stronger, try one of my spiked fall beverages like the cinnamon old fashioned, apple cider gin and tonic, black cherry Halloween martini or berry bourbon smash.

Pumpkin Puree either from the pumpkin patch or from a can will work equally well. Just be sure not to use canned pumpkin pie filling as it has extra stuff we don't need here.

Pear Nectar or pear juice add sweetness and help thin out the texture of this drink so that it's smooth.

Spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg or a pumpkin pie spice blend, if you prefer.

Apple Cider Vinegar balances out the sweetness and adds a crisp tang to the drink that makes it taste just right. If you don't want to use vinegar, you can try fresh-squeezed orange juice.

Apple Juice is a good substitute for pear if you can't find it or just want to try something different. I recommend using unsweetened apple juice for the best results.

Bubbles can make this pumpkin drink even more fun. I recommend adding a splash of ginger beer or ginger ale to amp up the fall harvest vibes or sparkling water for an unsweetened option.

Sweetener options are flexible, too, including your favorite zero sugar sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.

Try my honey ginger syrup or cinnamon simple syrup for cozy sweetener options!

How to Serve

This pumpkin spice mocktail is best served ice cold and can be made into a punch for a party (see the FAQ above or recipe card below for instructions)!

Go as wild as you want with the garnishes. I like a sprig of rosemary and a whole cinnamon stick because they provide fresh fall aroma with each sip and just look festive.

Other garnish ideas include pomegranate arils, pear slices, and dehydrated citrus. It's great for fall parties, Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving.
