When deciding what seasonal cocktails you should give a whirl this fall, Trader Joe's pumpkin pie spiced mule should be a strong contender. The mule features one of TJ's newest fall-themed products, Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spiced Ginger Brew ($3). The nonalcoholic brew is a spin on a popular holiday favorite that combines ginger purée, pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and clove with a bubbly, mulled apple cider-like base. Mixed with vodka, this makes for a one-of-a-kind happy-hour cocktail.

The pumpkin mule takes less than five minutes to make, and will certainly take your friends and guests by a happy surprise. Bonus points if you have a cute copper mug to show them off in.

Pair your TJ's pumpkin pie spiced mule with one of their other fall-themed foods like butternut squash mac and cheese, a crowd favorite. A tasteful thirst quencher, the boozy beverage will bring a refreshing twist to any meal. Plus the old-world-style, swing-top glass bottle makes for a fun (and inexpensive) party gift.

Don't spend too much time mulling it over, as Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spiced Ginger Brew is only available for a limited time.
