Servings 2
Ingredients
Pumpkin Spice Simple Syrup
- 1/3 Cup Pumpkin Purée
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1 Tsp Pumpkin Spice
- Pinch Salt
Pumpkin Spice Margaritas
- 3 oz Tequila
- 1/2 oz Pumpkin Purée
- 1 oz Pumpkin Spice Syrup
- 1/2 oz Orange Liqueur such as Cointreau or Triple Sec
- 1/2 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lime Juice
Pumpkin Spice Brown Sugar Rim
- Brown Sugar
- Pumpkin Spice
- Coarse Sea Salt optional
Garnishes (optional)
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Sprinkle of Cinnamon
Instructions
- To begin, make the pumpkin spice simple syrup. In a small saucepot, add in all of the syrup ingredients and bring to medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce to a simmer and cook until all of the sugar is completely melted. When done, set aside and let cool.
- Prep your pumpkin spice brown sugar for the glass rims (if desired). Sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and coarse sea salt (optional) onto a plate. Using a lime wedge, wet the rims of your cocktail glasses, then gently press into the plate of sugar until the rims are coated.
- To prepare the margaritas, add ice to your cocktail shaker. Add in the margarita ingredients and shake until ice cold, at least 15-30 seconds.
- Add ice to your glasses. Pour margaritas evenly between the two glasses. Serve and garnish with extra cinnamon or cinnamon sticks. Enjoy!
Notes
I highly recommend using a cocktail jigger to measure the ingredients. However, if you don’t have one, here are the liquid conversions:
-
- 1 oz = approx. 2 tablespoons
- 1 1/2 oz = approx. 3 tablespoons
- 2 oz = 1/4 cup
- 3 oz = approx. 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon
