Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine filtered water and sugar. Heat over medium, stirring gently until the sugar is fully dissolved. Gradually stir in pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, ensuring even mixing. Be careful not to let it boil! Once combined, remove from heat and allow cooling for 20 minutes. Afterward, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove any sediment, leaving a smooth mixture.
  2. Grab your favorite glass and pour in 1 ounce of the cooled pumpkin spice syrup. Slowly top it with 6 ounces of cold soda water. Use a spoon to gently stir the concoction, mixing the syrup and soda without losing too much carbonation.
  3. Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle on some colorful Halloween sprinkles for a fun touch.
  4. For bulk preparation, combine the pumpkin spice syrup with cold soda water (1 part syrup to 6 parts soda) in a pitcher. Stir gently to mix, then let guests pour their own drinks, adding garnishes as desired.
