This Spiced Apple Pumpkin Cider Punch is a fun, autumn-inspired drink, perfect to enjoy during the fall season or Holiday get-togethers. With just a few simple ingredients, you'll get a naturally flavored, lightly spiced drink that brings the comforting tastes to any gathering.
I love drinks that feel festive but are quick and simple to make, and are infused with a supershot that also strengthens your immune system. Like my Cranberry Apple Cider Punch, this one is also made with a Sol-Ti SuperShots, but this time I'm going for the ginger flavors. It contains warm spices like fresh ginger and cayenne pepper, plus lemon and green apple, which pair so well with real pumpkin purée and cold-pressed apple cider. It not only bursts with autumn flavor but also supports your immune system, increases energy, and improves digestion. I promise, everyone will love it, because the apple flavor truly shines in this seasonal cider.

Ingredients To Make This Delicious Cider:
- Cold-Pressed Apple Cider: Naturally sweet with bold apple flavor and classic fall notes. Look for unfiltered apple cider at your local grocery store or farmers' market for the freshest taste. You can also use any leftover cider for other fall drinks like my Frozen Belly Love Apple Cider Mocktail.
- Pumpkin Purée: Adds a smooth, creamy texture and subtle pumpkin flavor that pairs beautifully with the apple cider. Use fresh or canned, unsweetened pumpkin for best results.
- Sol-Ti GINGER SuperShot: A nourishing addition that gives this punch a gentle ginger kick and an immune-supporting boost. Available online or at select stores. Don't forget my code "NATURALVEGAN" for 15% off when ordering through the link.
- Mulling Spices (Optional): Add classic warm spices like cloves, allspice, and star anise for aroma and visual flair. No need to steep or heat, just float the bag in the punch bowl for a festive presentation.
- Fresh Apple Slices: Fresh fruit slices add color and a crisp, natural sweetness to the punch. Choose sweet apples for the best flavor.
- Cinnamon Sticks: Slowly release a warm spice note into the punch. No simmering needed; just float them in the bowl or pitcher.

How To Make It:
This Spiced Apple Pumpkin Cider Punch is quick and easy to prepare, and perfect to take along to fall gatherings, pumpkin patch visits, or any seasonal celebration where you want a festive, flavorful drink.
- 1. Mix the Base: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, whisk together cold-pressed apple cider, pumpkin purée, and Sol-Ti GINGER SuperShots until smooth and fully combined.
- 2. Garnish the Bowl & Add Aroma: Add fresh apple slices and cinnamon sticks. If using, float the bag of mulling spices for extra aroma and visual appeal. Don't steep or heat.
- 3. Serve: Serve the punch over ice or chilled, stirring gently before pouring to combine any separation. Finish with extra apple slices for a festive touch.
Top Tips:
- Use Cold-Pressed Apple Cider: It provides the freshest, boldest apple flavor. Unfiltered cider from a local store or farmers' market works best.
- Pumpkin Purée: Use real pumpkin purée like in my Vegan Pumpkin Hot Chocolate for authentic pumpkin flavor. Unsweetened is best to control sweetness.
- Ginger Boost: Sol-Ti GINGER SuperShots adds a subtle spicy kick and an immune-supporting boost. I highly recommend it because it beautifully brings all the other flavors together. Plus, you can get 15% off all Sol-Ti products with code "NATURALVEGAN", so try it out!
- Cinnamon Sticks: Float them in the punch for natural warmth and aroma-no heating needed.
- Fresh Fruit Garnish: Sliced apples not only look beautiful but also add natural sweetness and texture. Don't skip them.
Variations And Substitutions:
- Cider Base: Use sparkling cider or hard apple cider if you want a fizzy or lightly alcoholic version. For a sweeter punch, mix in a touch of brown sugar or apple juice concentrate.
- Ginger Shots: If you don't have Sol-Ti GINGER SuperShots, fresh ginger juice or a few slices of fresh ginger can add warmth and spice.
- Fruit Garnish: Substitute or mix in fresh seasonal fruits like pear slices, orange slices, or pomegranate seeds for visual appeal and flavor.
Storage:
- Refrigerate: Store leftover punch in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving, as some separation may occur. Remove any cinnamon sticks or mulling spice bags before storing or chilling to avoid overpowering flavors.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the base up to a day in advance; add fresh apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and the bag of mulling spices just before serving to maintain freshness and visual appeal.
Equipment Needed:
- Large Punch Bowl or Pitcher: To mix and serve the cider punch. A clear glass bowl shows off the beautiful autumn colors.
- Whisk: For blending the apple cider, pumpkin purée, and Sol-Ti GINGER SuperShots until smooth.
- Knife and Cutting Board: For slicing fresh apples or other fruit garnishes.
- Airtight Container: If you want to prepare the punch ahead of time or store leftovers safely.
Recipe FAQs:
Yes! Frozen pumpkin purée works perfectly. Thaw it first and stir well before mixing with the cider for a smooth texture.
No, but they add a subtle spicy kick and immune-supporting benefits. You can substitute with fresh ginger slices or ginger juice if preferred. I would add a dash of cayenne pepper and a bit of fresh lemon juice to stay true to the Supershots' natural flavors.
