Autumn brings cozy sweaters, subtle sunsets, and a craving for everything warm and spiced. Enter the Autumn-Spiced Pumpkin Mule, a fun and seasonal twist on the beloved Moscow Mule. This delightful cocktail blends pumpkin-pie spices with sparkling ginger beer for a zesty, creamy sip that pairs perfectly with crisp fall weather.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 4–6 ounces ginger beer (to top)
- Optional garnish: Cinnamon stick or lime wheel
Instructions
Begin by filling a classic copper mug (or your favorite glass) halfway with ice. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fragrant. This helps ensure the spice is evenly distributed throughout the drink.
Next, pour the vodka and lime juice into your mug. Gently stir in the seasoned pumpkin purée, taking your time to blend it well with the other ingredients. Once combined, slowly top off the mixture with ginger beer. The carbonation will give your cocktail that signature Mule fizz, so be sure to pour carefully to avoid any overflow.
Give your Mule one more light stir, then add a cinnamon stick or lime wheel for extra fall-flair. Sip away at your leisure, letting the spicy ginger notes mingle with the cozy pumpkin and bright lime in every last drop.
This Autumn-Spiced Pumpkin Mule is a treat for anyone who loves seasonal flavors, from pumpkin-lovers seeking a new bar trick to hosts looking for an easy signature drink. If you’re skipping alcohol, try swapping the vodka for a splash of apple cider or adding a bit more ginger beer. Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding extra cinnamon or nutmeg for a bolder kick. Whether you’re curled up by the fireplace or gathering with friends, this Mule is guaranteed to keep you cozy all autumn long.
