1 gallon (3.78 L) apple cider
3 cups (710 ml) apricot juice
15 oz (425 g) pumpkin puree
1/3 cup (73 g) brown sugar
4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla

Instructions
- In a large pot, whisk together apple cider, apricot juice, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves and pumpkin blends smoothly.
- Once heated through, remove from stove. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if a smoother texture is desired.
- Serve warm in mugs with cinnamon sticks, or chill in the refrigerator and serve over ice.
Notes
Pear juice can be substituted for apricot juice for a milder flavor.
Add spiced rum or bourbon for a spiked version.
