Pumpkin Patch Punch. A mix of apple cider, orange juice, a touch of lemon, spiced pumpkin butter, vodka, and brandy—all blended into the perfect autumn punch for all your upcoming gatherings. For an extra-special fall cocktail, rim the glasses with cinnamon sugar and top each drink with ginger beer. This punch is a hit for Halloween, Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, and every cozy day in between.

Somehow, it’s already the last Saturday of October. No clue how time flew by so fast, but here we are—Halloween is just days away (got a costume ready?), and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It’s a lot to take in, but in the best way possible.

I’ve been dying to share this cocktail since October began, so I’m thrilled the day is finally here. This pumpkin-packed drink is hands-down the ideal punch for Halloween or Thanksgiving… and it’s insanely delicious.

Remember that spiced pumpkin butter I made a few weeks ago? Yeah, I’ve been completely hooked on it since day one. So far, it’s been swirled into a maple latte and now this punch. There’s one more pumpkin butter recipe coming in November—but for now, let’s dive into this easy, pumpkin-spiced punch.

Like most punch recipes, you just toss everything into a bowl and you’re done. But unlike others, this one is packed with flavor—autumn spices, a whisper of pumpkin, bright citrus, and sweet apple in every sip.

The inspiration? This gorgeous pumpkin-shaped punch bowl. Naturally, I had to go all-in with pumpkin and spices. The mix starts with apple cider, orange juice, and a splash of lemon, then gets warmth from vodka and brandy. Finally, ginger beer tops it off for that perfect fall twist.

Want to take it up a notch? Rim your glasses with cinnamon sugar. Totally optional, but it adds a sweet finish that makes this the ultimate fall punch. Seriously, the best.

Pro tip? Try it this weekend. If it’s a hit (which it will be), double the batch for Halloween. And when everyone raves about it? Whip it up again for Thanksgiving!
