Ingredients

For the pumpkin spice syrup

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

For the soda

72 ounces cold soda water or sparkling water (not tonic)*
Whipped cream for topping
Halloween sprinkles for topping (optional)

Instructions

For the pumpkin spice syrup

Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add the pumpkin puree and the spice and stir until everything is dissolved. Do not boil. Remove from heat. Let cool for about 20 minutes.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove the sediment.

For the soda

Fill each glass with 1 ounce of the pumpkin syrup. Top with 6 ounces of soda water.** Top with whipped cream and sprinkles.
Alternatively, mix together the pumpkin syrup and the soda water in a large pitcher. Give a good stir before serving and allow guests to top their soda with whipped cream and sprinkles before drinking.

Notes

*You could also add ice cubes to the soda to make it cold if your soda water is not cold.

**You can adjust the syrup to soda ratio depending on how sweet you'd like your drink. More syrup will make a sweeter drink.
