A unique way to enjoy the pumpkin spice frenzy this season is a glass of Fall Pumpkin Party Punch. It contains REAL pumpkin, not simply a flavored syrup (although I do enjoy any and all forms of pumpkin spice flavor), spiced rum, orange liqueur and more!

Why You Will Love This Fall Party Punch
- Quick and Easy: It takes only 5 minutes to whip up a batch, so next time you're having a fall gathering such as a dinner party, Halloween festivity or Thanksgiving meal, keep this recipe in mind, your guests will be intrigued.
- Unique and Festive: Pumpkin-flavored drinks are not as common as other flavors, making this punch a unique party beverage. It adds a festive touch to any fall celebration.
- Alcoholic or Non: This spiked punch is not as strong as a pumpkin vodka martini. You can adjust the alcohol levels or omit them for a non-alcoholic option.
- Great for Batch-Making: This pumpkin punch is perfect for large gatherings as it comes together in a blender and can be easily made in large batches.
- Visually Appealing: Its warm, golden-orange color adds a beautiful, autumnal touch to your drink table and complements fall-themed decor.
- Make Ahead: You can make it a day in advance since it doesn't contain any carbonation, so there's no need to worry about it going flat.

Recipe Tweaks
- Pulp: Not everyone likes pulp in their cocktail. If you prefer it without the pulp, you have two options:
- Strain: Pour the blended beverage through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to make it more clear.
- Leave it out: Or, omit the pumpkin purée, sweetener and pumpkin pie spices and use this pumpkin spice simple syrup to add sweet pumpkin flavor.
- Sweetness: You could omit the sweetener completely since the orange and pineapple juices hold plenty of sweetness. Go by taste.
How to Make Fall Pumpkin Party Punch

Joss' Tips
- Although this recipe serves 4, you are welcome to double or triple the batch and let your guests experience this fun fall beverage out of a punch bowl.
- The pumpkin does tend to settle over time, so it is best served on the day of preparation, but is completely drink-worthy the next day as well. It's nothing a little stir can't fix.
Recipe FAQs
This fall punch is best served immediately but can be stored in the fridge for no longer than a few days.
You can use a pitcher or even a blender to hold the beverage. Some more creative options include: a hollowed out pumpkin, beverage dispenser, mason jars or large glass jars, vintage jugs, wine decanters or a large bowl.
To keep the punch from becoming diluted, it's best to add ice cubes to individual glasses rather than the punch bowl.
