These ingredients capture the autumn flavors beautifully. If you want to add a zing, sometimes I add a splash of ginger ale.
Instructions
Let’s get creative in the kitchen! Follow these steps to whip up the mocktail:
- Shake well until everything blends smoothly.

Feel free to adjust the spice levels to match your taste. Give it a little taste test and tweak as necessary. 🥤
Notes
Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste preferences. Some like it spicier!
For a sugary rim, dip the glass in water or orange juice, then into sugar mixed with a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
