Pumpkin Spice syrup made with real pumpkins, cinnamon and vanilla bean is the key to this delicious Hogwarts inspired drink. Filled with a balance of sweet and tart juices and warm spices, it is an easy drink to make for parties and makes a perfectly festive punch that works for wizards or witches of all ages. We love to make it for Halloween parties or Thanksgiving.
As the leaves start to turn and the air gets a little crisper, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with a magically inspired drink that’s sure to warm your spirits. This recipe was inspired by the beloved beverage served at Hogwarts Castle, (didn't you always want a cup when they talked about it in the Great Hall?)
This isn’t just any pumpkin juice though; we’re elevating it with pumpkin spice syrup made from real pumpkins, which adds a delightful sweetness and depth to each sip.
If you don't have our Simple Goodness Pumpkin Spice syrup, I recommend making one using pumpkin puree, sugar, and spices, because most commercially available Pumpkin Spice syrups contain way more sugar and cinnamon and very little actual pumpkin. We're going for big pumpkin flavor that adds richness to this sweet drink, so you want to use the good stuff.
Can you sub in another Simple Goodness flavor? Sure, Apple Pie will work, and taste great, it just won't taste like Pumpkin Juice, exactly. But you know what, I wouldn't think anyone would care when they're drinking it and it's delicious.
Could you serve it from a hollowed out pumpkin? I hoped that you'd ask that and the answer is an enthusiastic yes.
Whether you’re looking for a non-alcoholic treat to enjoy while reading your favorite Harry Potter book or want to add a little kick with some whiskey (stick to an unsweetened bourbon or blended whiskey, not cinnamon whiskey, or it will get way too sweet) for an adults-only version, this drink has got you covered.
