To make this mocktail perfect, make sure all your ingredients are cold before blending. This keeps your drink chilled without using too much ice. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup, depending on how sweet you like your drinks. If you’re a fan of spices, feel free to add a pinch more pumpkin spice for an extra kick. Finally, always taste your mixture before pouring it over ice. This way, you can adjust any ingredients to your liking.
Variations (if possible)
You can easily customize this mocktail. If you want a creamier version, try adding a spoonful of coconut cream. For a little coffee flavor, mix in some cold brew coffee before blending. You can also swap oat milk for almond milk or soy milk if you prefer. If you’re looking for a twist, try adding vanilla extract or a hint of nutmeg to the blend. Each variation can give you a new experience while keeping that pumpkin spice essence.
