Pumpkin Juice from Harry Potter | How to Drink 

I'm making a homemade copy of The Wizarding World's Pumpkin Juice AND inventing an alcoholic cocktail an adult wizard might make based on their youth.
**********************************
Today on How to Drink I'm tackling Pumpkin Juice from the Harry Potter books, the ubiquitous drink of young wizards the Wizarding World over. I also assume that an adult wizard mixologist might grow up and want to create cocktails inspired by the drinks and flavors of his youth, and I create an alcoholic cocktail based on Pumpkin Juice. I'm pretty proud of that one.
To make both recipe's you'll need to make some Cinnamon Syrup, this is fairly simple stuff to make. It's just a 2:1 simple syrup with cinnamon sticks tossed in.
Cinnamon Syrup
1 part Water
2 parts Sugar
2 whole cinnamon sticks per cup of water (I used four)
boil till clear, let cool, and bottle.
Throw additional cinnamon sticks in the bottle with the syrup, it'll continue to flavor.
You'll also need to get some Juiced Pumpkin. Not an easy thing, believe it or not, pumpkins aren't super juicy, and in most places they're not available year round. Instead look for a can of puréed pumpkin. It usually available in the dog food aisle, I know that sounds gross but it's really not. Just look for a can that lists ONLY pumpkin as it's ingredients and you're golden.
Juice of Pumpkin
1 can Puréed Pumpkin
1 Can of water
combine in saucepan, heat to a boil and immediately let cool.
Strain through cheesecloth and bottle.
And finally, to make the clone of the Pumpkin Juice available at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you'll need citric acid. You may already have this stuff in your kitchen, and if you don't you really should. It's handy. Can't make your own though, so buy it here:
