- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- Juice of 2 lemons
- ¼ cup cinnamon sugar
- Ice

Instructions
- Rub one lemon half around the rim of each of four glasses, then dip the rims into the cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.

Notes
Strain the pumpkin puree through a fine mesh if you want a thinner consistency. Mix the cinnamon sugar and rim the glasses up to an hour ahead so they are ready when guests arrive. Reduce the maple syrup by a tablespoon or two if you prefer less sweetness.
