My grandma Diane used to make a delicious hot apple cider in her crock pot and I always remember the smells and seeing her secret ingredient sitting on the counter-Tang!  I love hot cider and I thought making a pumpkin cider would be even more delicious.  So I threw ingredients in the crock pot that I thought my grandma would use and waited an hour.  The pumpkin gave it a creamy texture, it was amazing-I even put down the Octoberfest I was drinking and refilled my cup with more cider! I suppose if one did want to make this an adult drink you could add some adult liqour to it…cheers!
