On a recent trip to Harry Potter World in Orlando, we decided to taste-test several of the popular beverages offered in Diagon Alley. To our surprise, it wasn’t the famous Butterbeer that caught our attention, but the Pumpkin Juice!

Our whole family loved the chilled Harry Potter Pumpkin Juice so much that we decided to make our own copycat version at home…. Turns out, it is super easy!

Copycat Harry Potter Pumpkin Juice

What makes Harry Potter Pumpkin Juice special is that it isn’t just a pumpkin drink. Instead, this is a juice blend containing pumpkin, apple, nectarine (or peach), and a few key baking spices. It’s sweet, kissed with fall spice, and tastes like fall.

After MANY test runs and tastings, this is the combination that best represents Harry Potter World and keeps my family coming back for more. I have a feeling I’ll even be making batches in the spring and summer!

Our chilled pumpkin juice recipe is a snap to blend up like magic in only a few minutes and is sure to make muggles and wizards alike happy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make an iced blended pumpkin drink?

Blend the ingredients as directed for 30-60 seconds. Then add 4-6 cups of ice, and blend again until frosty. Note: You might need to work in batches to make all 8 servings as blended drinks.

Can I make this an adults-only Harry Potter Pumpkin Juice Cocktail recipe?

Certainly! Blend in 1 ounce of dark spiced rum for each 8oz serving you are making. So for this recipe that serves 8, add 8 ounces of rum to the blender. Or make the pitcher nonalcoholic, and mix in alcohol to individual glasses.

Can this juice blend be enjoyed hot?

You can definitely heat up the juice and enjoy it as a sip-able warm drink. Once blended, heat in a pan on the stovetop or in the microwave until the temperature is to your liking.

How long will homemade Harry Potter Pumpkin Juice keep well?

It will last for up to a week in a sealed container in the fridge.

I can’t find apricot or peach nectar. Where should I look?

In our local grocery stores, both items are in either the juice aisle (with the fancier bottles) or in the international food section, sold in small cans. You can also buy either type of juice online. In a pinch, use white grape juice instead.
