This Pumpkin Juice recipe is a copycat of the drink you find at Universal Studios Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We start brewing it at our house this time of year and again on July 31st, which is Harry’s birthday, of course!
Big fans!
Not that you need an excuse to enjoy pumpkin juice or Harry Potter. But, this specialty drink perfectly complements so many dishes and is quite the conversation starter at a party.
It’s a staple item for any Harry Potter themed party including birthdays and Halloween! We serve ours alongside 3 Ingredient Harry Potter Golden Snitch Truffles!
Ask someone if they’ve ever tried pumpkin juice and you’ve opened the door to discussions about Harry Potter, favorite books, Orlando and which house you would be in at Hogwarts…just try it!
This specialty punch is the perfect blend of apple cider, pear nectar, pumpkin puree and spices. I’ve seen many variations around the internet. But, this version is inspired by the pumpkin juice recipe at Party Through the Parks.
It passes the taste test (and yes, we’ve had our share of pumpkin juice from the theme park!)
It’s simple to prepare. Just add all of the ingredients to a blender and combine. It calls for pear nectar which can be found at most grocery stores. But, it’s also tasty using apricot nectar or peach nectar in place of the pear variety.
Be sure to pin this recipe so you won’t need to head to the WWOHP to get a pumpkin juice fix!
As a matter of full disclosure, you should know that we are big Harry Potter fans…we even have a sweet pup named Sirius Black, who is often pictured on The Dinner-Mom Instagram account. 🙂

Ha! Who knew it was so easy to drink like Potter?
Marjory
And to think we use to drive over to Universal Studios to get our fix. Luckily it’s not that far away!
Renee
What a great fall beverage! I can see this being quite popular at a Halloween party.
Marjory
It’s a fun fall party punch!
Stacy
Is it sacrilege to suggest that it might be a nice warm drink too? Those flavors sound wonderful and I can just imagine sticking my nose in a nice warm cup of that. Perhaps with just a tiny whiff of rum. 🙂
Marjory
Sounds like a good plan!
Shaina
Wow I’ve never heard of anything like this! It sounds soooo good and perfect for fall! So many delicious fruits all in one drink. I can’t believe I live in FL and still have not been to the Wizarding World of HP…and I’m a huge Harry fan. I’m awful =(
Marjory
If you are a fan, you really must go. It really is spectacular…if you go when it’s not too crowded. 🙂

Oh, I love it! I couldn’t wait to see this when I saw your title. My kids would have a blast with it, as well. The first HP came out when my oldest was really young, and we went to see every movie together…it became tradition! And of course, the younger ones enjoyed them too when they a bit older. We even stood in lines at midnight to get books on their release date. 🙂 Thanks for this, Marjory!
Marjory
How fun! All the books were released by the time my girls were old enough to read them. But, we did experience the last movie at midnight, fully dressed in Harry Potter gear. Very memorable. 🙂

Hi Marjory,
It’s so nice to ‘meet’ you through Sunday Supper! What a fantastic beverage to celebrate fall! I have got to read those Harry Potter books!
Happy Fall!
Roz
Marjory
It’s a pleasure meeting you as well!

What a fun Holiday Drink! I can’t wait to try this with the kids.
Nicole @ Daily Dish Recipes
you’ve got to be kidding me. And I mean that in the… “holy wow I need some of this stat!” way. I have never… had anything like this… and that HAS to change because with my love affair with pumpkin… yes, just yes. FABULOUS recipe!
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes
I never heard of pumpkin juice, but with cider and spices in it, it screams fall! Must try it.
Constance Smith @FoodieArmyWife
What a great drink for autumn!
Laura Dembowski
I have never heard of pumpkin juice, but all the flavors sound like they work well together. What a great, and unique, drink for fall!

So, as a giant Potterhead, I love this! And I haven’t been to WWOHP yet, which is just unbearable.
The Ninja Baker
How fun! And tasty =) I can see how this drink would work magic at a party and ignite a whole string of lively conversation.

Love the Harry Potter reference! (Andy, by the way, your puppy is adorable.) I’m going to be keeping an eye out for pear nectar so we can make this!

Nancy @ gottagetbaked
I’ve never heard of pumpkin juice! After reading your recipe, I’m feeling awfully parched – this sounds delicious!
Steve
You may be interested in knowing the origin of the food.com recipe. It was borrowed, word for word including directions and quotes, from http://www.partythroughtheparks.com. Great website with tons of theme park recipes.
Marjory
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I enjoyed looking through your site and added a link to your recipe to the post.
Aggie
We had passes to universal studios last year and the line for pumpkin juice was so long! I would rather make it at home 🙂 I was telling my kids about this today, it sounds great. I’m going to make it for them!
Alfonso
Does the recipe use Apple Pie Spice? Or Pumpkin Pie Spice?
Marjory
It calls for apple pie spice, but I think it would taste good with pumpkin spice too!
Aeylene
Just wanted to let you know that everyone loved this recipe at a Harry Potter-themed birthday party we just had. Thanks for the recipe!
Claudia
I work at the YMCA on weekends and made it on Saturday with the pear nectar and on Sunday with peach nectar, that’s all I could find. Both were a big hit with 99% of the patrons!
Marjory
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hannah
Delicious! I didn’t have pear nectar, but just subbed water. It was still plenty sweet from the cider. Thank you for this simple and delicious pumpkin juice recipe.
Alicia
This tastes very similar to the recipe we get at Universal Studios! It is by-far the most accurate of the “clone recipes.” We love it. We add a little extra pumpkin and I mull the whole spices in the apple juice for a bit (to get rid of some of the powdery texture we get because we add the extra spices. We have brought this to Wizards Unite games and it is quite a hit! Thanks for doing the research! 🙂
Marjory Pilley
I’m so glad it was hit! Thanks for sharing!
