Ingredients
For pumpkin syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
For mojito
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
- 6 - 8 mint leaves

Preparation
Baking Directions:
Prepare pumpkin syrup first: Stir together sugar, water, and pumpkin puree in a medium saucepan, and cook over high heat until puree has dissolved and mixture just boils; about 3 to 5 minutes.
Cool completely and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Pumpkin syrup can be made the day before it will be used.
To make the pumpkin mojito: Add juice, mint, and rum into a tall glass.
Crush mint using the back of a spoon or a muddler until liquid is light green, then pour in pumpkin syrup.
Add ice cubes to fill half of the glass.
Add club soda to where glass is 3/4 full and stir.
For an easy Halloween accent, slip a rubber wristband with a word like “freaky” or “spooky” around glass.
