This pumpkin juice is the ultimate Halloween treat. It's spooky, sweet, and easy to make. And it's vegan friendly too!
There’s more to pumpkin juice than just breaking into a haunted pumpkin patch, fending off the zombies, and juicing a pumpkin.
This Harry Potter-inspired version simmers spices, fresh ginger and vanilla bean – with apple juice to infuse it.
Then it’s blended with soaked dried apricots, pumpkin purée and a little nutmeg. It’s sweetened only with dried apricots!

- 1½ cups water
- 2 cups apple juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 7 whole allspice berries
- 2 2-inch pieces thinly sliced ginger

- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Soak the apricots in the water for at least 4 hours or overnight in the fridge.

- Add the apricots and the soaking water to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin purée and nutmeg and blend again.
- Strain the apple juice mixture into the blender to make sure only the liquid comes through. Blend until smooth.
- Put a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher and strain the pulp so that only the thick juice drips into the pitcher. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg before serving.
