Pumpkin Juice – A Beautiful Mess

I was reading Harry Potter with my kids recently and we had so much fun making our own Butterbeer recipe. The next Harry Potter-inspired recipe I want to try is pumpkin juice. This recipe is inspired by the one provided at Universal Studios’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This drink can be served iced or hot, with or without whipped topping. We hope wizards and muggles alike will enjoy this magical feast.

What does pumpkin juice taste like?

A drink with a strong pumpkin flavor mixed with apple cider. If I tasted it without knowing anything, I probably would have guessed it was pumpkin spiced apple cider.

tips on how to make

• If you’re hosting a Harry Potter party, you might also want to serve butterbeer, chocolate frogs, beans of all flavors, and pumpkin paste. This recipe is perfect for children’s tables at birthdays, Halloween parties, and Thanksgiving.
• I love this recipe for eating with ice. If you would like to enjoy it warm, heat it on the stove over medium heat (not boiling) and serve in a mug.
• If you don’t want to stir for a few minutes, you can easily mix the ingredients in a blender.
• If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can substitute half cinnamon and half allspice.
• Could you make this recipe first? Yes, you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator up to 48 hours before serving.
