How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino with Jot Coffee Concentrate

Quick Answer

Blend milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, sweetener, ice, and a tablespoon of Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate for a creamy, barista-style frappuccino in under five minutes. No espresso machine required—just a blender and your favorite Jot flavor.

Pumpkin spice season calls for something cool and creamy, and a frappuccino hits that spot perfectly. But you don’t need to stand in line or own an espresso machine to get one. With Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate, you can make a rich, blended pumpkin spice coffee drink right in your kitchen, any time of year.

This recipe uses just a handful of ingredients and takes less than five minutes from start to finish. The concentrated coffee does the heavy lifting, so you get that strong, smooth coffee flavor without brewing a pot or pulling a shot.

Why Jot Coffee Concentrate Works for Frappuccinos

Frappuccinos are all about texture and flavor balance—icy, creamy, and boldly coffee-forward. Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate is brewed fresh at 20x the strength of regular coffee, so a single tablespoon delivers enough rich coffee flavor to stand up to the milk, ice, and pumpkin spice. Because it dissolves instantly in cold liquids, you don’t have to worry about gritty residue or weak coffee taste.

The concentrate is also versatile. You can use the Original flavor for a classic coffee profile that lets the pumpkin shine, or let S'more Limited Batch – Ultra Coffee Concentrate add a subtle chocolate and toasty marshmallow note that pairs surprisingly well with pumpkin. For a more robust, flavor-forward cup, try Jot Ultra Coffee | Dark 2-Pack and enjoy a deeper roast that cuts through the sweetness.

• Use a tablespoon per 8-ounce serving, then adjust to your preferred strength.
• Chill your milk and pumpkin puree beforehand to keep the frappuccino thick and frosty without diluting the flavor.

Gathering Your Ingredients and Tools

The ingredient list is short: 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based), 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate, 1 to 2 tablespoons of sweetener (maple syrup or simple syrup), 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and about 1.5 cups of ice. You’ll also need a blender and a thick straw—this frappuccino is meant to be sipped slowly.

If you want to make it extra decadent, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a splash of heavy cream. The ice is key: it should be packed, not loosely filled, to create that thick, blended consistency. If you prefer a lighter drink, reduce the ice and add a little more milk.

• Taste your pumpkin puree first—some brands are sweeter than others, so adjust the sweetener accordingly.
• Measure the coffee concentrate precisely; too much can make the drink bitter rather than bold.

Blending the Frappuccino

Add all the ingredients to your blender in this order: milk, pumpkin puree, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate, and ice. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and the ice is fully crushed. If the blender stalls, add a splash more milk and pulse until it blends.

Once blended, pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. For a seasonal touch, drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce over the top. Serve immediately—frappuccinos separate as they sit, so this is not a drink that stores well.

• Do not over-blend—this will make the frappuccino watery. Stop as soon as it looks thick and smooth.
• If you want a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra half-tablespoon of Jot, but don’t double it unless you like a very bold drink.

Step-by-Step to a Perfect Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino

1. Prep your ingredients: Measure out the milk, pumpkin puree, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, and Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate before you start blending. This keeps the process quick and prevents mistakes. Checkpoint: Have everything ready—you don’t want to be fumbling with the blender running.
2. Add to blender in the right order: Pour the milk, pumpkin puree, sweetener, and spice into the blender first, then add the coffee concentrate, and finally the ice. This order helps the blender process the ice more easily. Checkpoint: If the mixture is too thick and won’t blend, add a little more milk.
3. Blend until thick and smooth: Start on low, then increase to high and blend for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the ice is completely crushed and the drink is smooth. Stop immediately—over-blending turns it watery. Checkpoint: The frappuccino should pour slowly and mound slightly in the cup.
4. Taste and adjust: Give it a quick taste. If you want more coffee flavor, add an extra half-tablespoon of Jot and pulse. If it’s not sweet enough, add a bit more sweetener. Checkpoint: It should be balanced—coffee-forward but still smooth and sweet.
5. Serve and garnish: Pour into a tall glass, add whipped cream, and dust with pumpkin pie spice. Serve immediately with a reusable straw. Checkpoint: Enjoy right away—the texture changes quickly as it sits.
