Instructions

Notes
For a vegan or dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with oat, coconut, or almond milk. Homemade pumpkin spice syrup (pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice) gives the best flavor. Chill your glass in the freezer for a frosty vibe. Adjust sweetness and creaminess to taste. For parties, batch the base and let guests add cream and spice.
