Notes
[‘Whisk thoroughly to ensure the pumpkin puree doesn’t settle at the bottom.’, ‘Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the spices to infuse the liquids.’, ‘Add ice right before serving to prevent the punch from getting watered down.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by adding maple syrup or honey if desired.’, ‘For a kid-friendly version, skip the alcohol and top with whipped cream.’]
