Equipment

  • Pumpkin punch bowl

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 2 liters apple cider or apple juice
  • 8 ounces (½ can) pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For Serving

  • Ice
  • Cinnamon sticks

Instructions
 

  • Combine the apple cider, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in a large pitcher. Stir thoroughly until the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated and no streaks remain.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed — apple cider varies in sweetness by brand, so start with the full amount of sugar and reduce slightly if your cider is already very sweet.
  • Pour over ice in individual glasses and add a cinnamon stick to each glass before serving.
  • If making ahead, refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir thoroughly again before pouring — the spices and puree settle quickly and the drink needs to be recombined each time.
