Substitutions:
- Instead of pumpkin puree, you can use butternut squash puree or sweet potato puree.
- If you don’t have pineapple juice, you can use apple cider or orange juice instead.
- For a sweeter drink, you can add more maple syrup or brown sugar.
Storage:
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir or shake before serving.
Tips:
- If you want to make this drink ahead of time, you can blend all the ingredients together and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Just be sure to shake it well before pouring.
- If you want to make this drink extra fancy, you can rim the glass with cinnamon sugar before pouring in the drink.
Notes:
This drink is on the sweet side, so if you prefer a less sweet drink, you can adjust the amount of maple syrup or omit it altogether.
