Fresh vs. canned pumpkin: Both work, but fresh pumpkin has a slightly sweeter, fresher flavor.
-
Add spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves complement pumpkin naturally.

Make it creamy: Add a splash of almond milk or coconut milk for a latte-style pumpkin drink.
-
Storage: Refrigerate juice for up to 2 days; stir before drinking.
If you want, I can give a “magical” pumpkin juice inspired by Harry Potter’s version, sweetened naturally and perfect for kids or parties—it’s bright orange, slightly fizzy, and delicious.
