This Pumpkin Spice Punch recipe post was made in partnership with Q Mixers. Recipe and ideas are my own.

Fall is the one time a year where you can incorporate pumpkin purée in pretty much anything and it’s acceptable. So, I’m taking full advantage of that opportunity and making my favorite pumpkin-flavored recipes all season!
One of the best ways to use pumpkin puree is in drinks, and as the holidays approach, I have the perfect pumpkin punch that your friends and family will love. Trust me, your Halloween and Thanksgiving gatherings won’t be complete without the Pumpkin Spice Punch!
This punch combines a lot of flavors, but I think it’s the perfect amount of pumpkin, citrus, and a bit of spice! So, what’s the secret ingredient that helps emphasize these delicious ingredients? It’s Q Mixers Ginger Beer – the perfect companion for any spirit.
I love using Q Mixers Ginger Beer because it’s so bold, effervescent, and a much crisper ginger beer than others. Some of its ingredients include real ginger and organic agave nectar.
