What You'll Do...

3. Fill glasses with desired amount of ice.
4. Add the cider, orange juice, pumpkin puree, optional tequila, and pumpkin pie spice to a large pitcher and stir well or whisk to combine. **See notes for blending**

Notes

•  If you want to make sure this is a super smooth cocktail you can blend all ingredients (except champagne and cinnamon/sugar for the rim) for 1 minute in the blender and then pour into a pitcher.: 
• This recipe makes enough for 6-8 drinks, depending on the person.  You can easily cut it in half to serve 3-4.
• Once prepared it's best to store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If storing for later wait to add the Valencia Orange Bubbles.  After storing, the pumpkin will settle and then you will want to blend it or whisk before serving.
