Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, water, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- Once cooled, prepare four glasses by filling each with ice cubes.
- Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly among the glasses, filling them about halfway.
- Top each glass with 1 cup of chilled club soda, gently stirring to combine the ingredients without losing too much fizz.
- Drizzle a tablespoon of heavy cream over the top of each soda for a creamy finish.
- Serve immediately with a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice on top for an added touch of flair.
Tips
- For a sweeter drink, adjust the sugar to taste or use a flavored syrup.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to personalize your drink.
