How to make pumpkin juice in just 5 minutes
Step one: Set up your blender
Place your blender on the counter (a stick blender and large container also work).
Step two: Add everything in
Measure all the ingredients into the blender jar. Cover and blend on high for 30-60 seconds, just until the brown sugar has dissolved.
Step three: Chill or serve right away
Pour the juice into a large pitcher. Chill until ready to serve, or pour it directly over ice if you're making it on the spot.
Pro Tip: If you make it ahead, give the pitcher a good shake or stir before serving.
Storage tips
- Store pumpkin juice in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- If serving later, always stir or shake before pouring since the puree can settle.
Recipe variations
- Iced blended pumpkin juice: After blending, add 4-6 cups of ice and blend again until frosty. You may need to work in batches.
- Pumpkin juice cocktail: Add 1 ounce of dark spiced rum per 8 oz serving.
- Warm pumpkin juice: Heat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave after blending. Perfect for chilly evenings.
