Fall is pumpkin season: everywhere you look, there’s a pumpkin-flavored food item calling your name: cakes, cookies, muffins, pies (of course) and so on. That’s why it made perfect sense to us to mix up a Pumpkin Margarita. What better cocktail to celebrate the change of weather?
What You Need: lime juice, lemon juice, tequila, pumpkin puree, Cointreau (or triple sec), cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, Grand Marnier and cinnamon.
