Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup plant-based creamer
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 3/4 cup grape juice
- Ice cubes as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Mixture: In a blender, combine pure pumpkin puree, plant-based creamer, maple syrup (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), ground nutmeg (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent if using. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly spiced.
- Add Liquid Base: Pour in the grape juice and blend again just to combine. This addition adds bright, fruity notes that balance the richness of the pumpkin and cream.
- Chill and Serve: Add ice cubes into serving glasses to keep the mocktail refreshingly cold. Pour the blended pumpkin mixture over the ice slowly to maintain a creamy texture. Stir gently and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for the most vibrant flavor.
- Opt for pure pumpkin puree without additives to maintain natural sweetness and authenticity.
- Use cold creamer and juice to keep the mocktail frosty longer.
- Sweeten gradually and taste-test to avoid overpowering the spices and pumpkin.
- If adding the natural gelling agent, dissolve it fully in warm liquid before blending for a smooth consistency without lumps.
