Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 2 cups apple juice (fresh-pressed for best flavor)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (add more if desired)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (reduces sweetness)
- Honey or maple syrup (to taste, optional)
Instructions
- Combine pumpkin puree, apple juice, lemon juice, ground ginger, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup in a large pitcher.

Notes
For a smoother texture, strain the juice before serving. You can swap apple juice for pear or add a pinch of clove for extra flavor. If you’re making it for kids, reduce the ginger for a milder taste.
