Notes
Add more simple syrup for extra sweetness. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Adjust pumpkin pie spice to your taste. Not all ginger beers are the same, so pick your favorite. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and add more ginger beer. Prep everything but the ginger beer ahead and top right before serving.
