- Blending Technique: Use a high-speed blender or cocktail shaker to create a smooth, well-incorporated mixture that eliminates any pumpkin puree lumps.
- Ice Selection: Use large, high-quality ice cubes to prevent rapid melting and maintain the drink's robust flavor profile.
- Customization Options: Experiment with different plant-based milks like oat or coconut milk for unique flavor variations.
- Spice Intensity: Adjust the pumpkin spice quantity to suit your personal taste preferences—start with the recommended amount and modify accordingly.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepare the coffee mixture in advance and store in the refrigerator for a quick, grab-and-go morning treat.
