Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups of water
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 organic orange, scrubbed clean
- 2 tablespoons aquafaba (the liquid from a strained canned of chickpeas)
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 1.5 ounces of vodka, optional
Instructions
- Make the saffron maple simple syrup. Like making tea, you’ll boil water and pour it into a mason jar or mug, add saffron, cover it and let it steep for 15 minutes. Then strain out the saffron and stir in the maple syrup. Pour this into a jar with a lid and transfer to the freezer to quick chill.
- Meanwhile, use a veggie peeler to shave off 2 thick pieces of orange peel. Juice the orange, removing seeds. Stir the orange juice, pumpkin, and vanilla into the chilled saffron mixture. Add vodka (if using) and aquafaba and shake until foamy. Rub the orange peels on the inside of the drinking glasses (use it to garnish at the end). Divide the mocktail between the two glasses by pouring a little into one, then a little into the other, going back and forth so foam distributes evenly). Top with a pinch of cinnamon and garnish with the orange peel. Serve and enjoy!
