Instructions
- Prepare the pumpkin base: Whisk together the pure pumpkin puree, maple syrup (natural), and warm spices blend until fully combined to create a thick, flavorful foundation.
- Add acidity and texture: Mix in fresh lemon juice (natural) and apple cider vinegar (natural) to brighten the drink and add complexity, then stir in the natural gelling agent to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Incorporate the plant-based milk: Gradually stir in your choice of plant-based milk, adjusting the amount to reach your preferred thickness and a creamy finish.
- Chill and blend: Refrigerate the mocktail for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. For a silky texture, blend briefly before serving or shake thoroughly in a jar for a lighter touch.
- Serve with love: Pour into your favorite glasses and add garnishes such as a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove for maximum flavor intensity.
- Start with less maple syrup (natural) and adjust sweetness according to taste.
- Oat milk or cashew milk provide the creamiest texture in mocktails.
- Serve chilled for refreshing sips or warmed slightly for cozy comfort.
- Prepare ahead and let the mocktail rest to allow spices to infuse fully.
