We had some pumpkin juice left over after Cindy made the soup the other day. Since I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter, who is always drinking a (presumably non-alcoholic) pumpkin juice beverage, we decided to see what it tasted like.
Answer: it tastes like.... pumpkin. What a surprise.
It was interesting to taste it once, but it wasn't the kind of thing I'd want to drink every day. It was drinkable, but without any spices or sweeting, it was a little bit raw or unfinished. I suppose you could acquire a taste for it without too much trouble if you wanted to try that.
So Cindy added a little apple juice and some spices: cinnamon, ginger, coriander and nutmeg, and then it tasted like.... pumpkin pie. It was very good and the spices made it much more drinkable.
We tried it out on some friends who are also big Harry Potter fans; they've been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and had some of the version of pumpkin juice they use there. It looks from the description as if that version of Pumpkin Juice would be somewhat sweeter than ours because theirs includes apple juice and sugar, as well as some apricot juice, so I'm sure it tasted a good deal different from ours.
Our version was good, and much more drinkable that the raw pumpkin juice was, but I'm still waiting to see what Butterbeer tastes like.
