For as long as I've remembered, I have always been a Harry Potter fan, and as long as I live, I think I will continue to be. Even as an adult, I still read the Harry Potter books, transferring myself to an imaginary world of witchcraft, magic, adventure, and fun. I know all the characters, books and films inside out.
One of my favorite memories from the Harry Potter films is the first time Harry goes into the Great Hall for the start-of-year feast. There are tables laden with delicious foods and desserts, and of course, the legendary pumpkin juice Harry Potter style! There is laughter and a sense of community as they all share and chatter over their food, and it reaffirms my belief that food can truly bring people together.
I couldn't wait to share my version of Harry Potter pumpkin juice with all of you! This recipe is so fun to make and is one the entire family will love.
Recipe for Pumpkin Juice Ingredients
If you're unfamiliar with Harry Potter and its reference to pumpkin juice, pumpkin juice is one of the most common beverages the students enjoy in the series. While there is never a specific recipe for pumpkin juice mentioned in the book, I came up with my spin on what Harry Potter drinks would look like! Here are the ingredients you need to make pumpkin juice Harry potter style:
- apple cider
- pumpkin puree
- apricot nectar, or sub peach or mango
- cinnamon
- ginger
- ground cardamom
- nutmeg
Naturally, the main ingredient in this Pumpkin Juice Recipe is pumpkin. In particular, we use canned pumpkin puree.
To put a fall or Halloween spin on the recipe, I decided to go for a spice mix as well to bring out those cozy fall vibes. I used apple cider and peach nectar as the base to make it beautifully thick and creamy.

Pumpkin Juice Recipe Notes
It will take some time to cool down, however, if you do want it iced, but I feel as though the heating method brings out the best results for the consistency of the drink.
I love the flavor combination of this pumpkin juice recipe. There is just enough sweetness in the drink without it being too sweet, and enough spice mix to make it really feel like a feel-good fall drink.

Trying to sub all those spices with just pumpkin pie spice. What amount to use?
Em Beitel says
Hi Aldry! I would use about 3 teaspoons as the amount used here comes out to about that. To be safe, you could use less and add a little more as you find necessary.
