Ingredients

Liquids

  • 8 oz tequila
  • 4 oz orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • 4 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)

Main Flavorings

  • 4 oz pumpkin puree

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Optional for Serving

  • Salt or sugar for rimming glasses
  • Pumpkin pie spice for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Glass Rims: If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it. Then dip the rims into a small plate filled with salt or sugar to coat them evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing glass, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, pumpkin puree, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  3. Add Ice and Shake: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Pour the combined mixture from the mixing glass into the shaker. Secure the lid tightly.
  4. Shake the Cocktail: Shake the cocktail vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into the prepared rimmed glasses filled with fresh ice cubes to keep it cold without dilution.
  6. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top of each cocktail for extra aroma and autumnal flair.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup to suit your taste.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and orange liqueur with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic margarita mix.
  • Serve alongside spiced nuts or nachos to enhance the festive experience.
