Pumpkin Spice Margaritas are Perfect for Fall
Whether you’re hosting a big holiday meal or just want to sip on something in the evening, this Pumpkin Margarita recipe is just what you’ve been looking for.
Chances are you already have canned pumpkin on hand for all your holiday baking. So why not grab a little bit and make yourself a delicious cocktail.
I had never had canned pumpkin in a cocktail before this year. I was not sure how the consistency would be. But you don’t need much to get all that great pumpkin flavor. The other liquids in the recipe ensure that it isn’t thick. I promise you won’t think you’re sucking down a piece of pumpkin pie.
How to Make a Pumpkin Margarita
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Orange Juice
- 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 oz. Reposado tequila
- 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice (not pictured, but needed!)
- 2 TBSP pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp agave syrup
- 1/8 tsp ginger (not pictured)
- dash of cayenne (not pictured)
I always start out with a basic recipe that I put together based on other cocktails I’ve made and work from there. After I made my first round, I knew I needed to tweak it to make it even better. So I added fresh lime juice, ginger and cayenne. They aren’t pictured, but you MUST use them to get the best results.
I didn’t have any pumpkin pie spice at home so I made my own from the spices I had. But you can use store-bought.
Most tequila cocktails use silver tequila. But I decided to go with reposado as it’s aged and I thought it would have a little bit more of a rich, caramel-y flavor. You can sub whatever you have without much flavor difference.
The lime juice, ginger and cayenne really help to balance the flavors. The cayenne hits the back of your throat and is a fantastic little kick of heat that you didn’t even know you wanted.
Instructions:
- In a cocktail shaker add orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, tequila, lime juice, pumpkin puree, agave syrup, ginger and cayenne.
- Add ice and shake well.
- To rim the glass, use a quarter of lime to wet the rim.
- Dip the rim into a plate of pumpkin pie spice.
- Strain Pumpkin Margarita into a glass over fresh ice.
This delicious pumpkin margarita for fall is easy to make and super yummy! The pumpkin flavor isn’t overpowering. You’ll get those perfect fall vibes you want this time of year.
