Wizarding World Pumpkin Juice #2

Pumpkin juice recipe that isn't too sweet or thick and works well for any autumn party. I stumbled onto this recipe years ago to use at a party we gave for the theatrical release of the last Harry Potter movie. It was surprisingly delicious and is the best recipe I've ever seen for pumpkin juice. This works well with spiced rum if you've got an interest in a bit of an adult twist.
