Tasting Notes
When I take a sip of the Pumpkin Pie Moscow Mule, the first thing I notice is the creamy pumpkin flavor blended perfectly with the spicy zing of ginger beer. 🎃 The mixture is smooth and refreshing, making it a delightful autumn treat.
The sweet notes from the pumpkin spice give it a warm, cozy vibe. It reminds me of a chilled slice of pumpkin pie. This balance of flavors is what makes it so special and enjoyable. 😊
The hint of cinnamon and nutmeg adds a nice touch, creating a lovely harmony with the vodka. Here’s a quick taste profile:
- Pumpkin: Creamy and sweet
- Ginger: Spicy and refreshing

Substitute
Sometimes I like to try new flavors in my Pumpkin Pie Moscow Mule. 🍹 Here are a few substitutions that work well.
- Vodka Options: Try using vanilla or caramel-flavored vodka for a sweet twist.
- Ginger Beer: Swap regular ginger beer with spicy ginger ale for a milder flavor.
- Pumpkin Spice: If pumpkin puree is not handy, use pumpkin spice syrup instead.
Feel free to mix these up and see what tastes best for you!
If you’re looking to make this non-alcoholic, simply replace vodka with ginger ale. This keeps the drink fun and refreshing! 🍂
Another idea is to use coconut milk instead of traditional half-and-half. This provides a creamy texture while being dairy-free. 🥥

Mixing up the drink:
