Main Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of cloves
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Ice cubes (optional, for serving cold)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pumpkin Base: In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of pumpkin puree with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of cloves. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed and the pumpkin is smooth without lumps.
- Sweeten and Flavor: Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pumpkin-spice mixture. Stir thoroughly to blend everything into a fragrant, cozy fall base.
- Mix in Coconut Milk and Vinegar: Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth to combine the creaminess with the tangy brightness that balances the sweetness perfectly.
- Chill or Warm: For a cold mocktail, add a handful of ice cubes and stir well. For a warm option, gently heat the mixture on the stove until warm but not boiling, stirring constantly to maintain the creaminess and enhance the spices.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the Pumpkin Pie Mocktail into your favorite glass or mug. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, a cinnamon stick, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for a festive touch.

- Adjust the maple syrup to your preferred sweetness, aiming for a natural balance.
- Whisk vigorously to create a smooth, creamy consistency with no separation.
- Choose pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling, to avoid added sugars or additives.
- Enjoy this mocktail hot or cold based on your preference or the season.
