Cocktail Colin says:
Pumpkin Spice Margarita employs an autumnal twist on the classic margarita with the introduction of pumpkin puree, complementing the sharpness of the citrus juices and the bold flavor of tequila. The dash of Cointreau elevates the overall sweet and spicy profile, creating a harmonious blend perfect for seasonal festivities.

FAQ's
When is the best time of year to enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Margarita?
The Pumpkin Spice Margarita is particularly enjoyable during the fall season. Its pumpkin puree and spice blend make it a perfect choice for autumn festivities, Halloween parties, or as a cozy drink to savor as the weather cools down.
Can I substitute Cointreau with another ingredient in a Pumpkin Spice Margarita?
Yes, you can substitute Cointreau with other orange-flavored liqueurs like Grand Marnier or Triple Sec. The taste might vary slightly, but these alternatives will still complement the pumpkin and citrus flavors of the margarita.
What are some garnishing tips for a Pumpkin Spice Margarita?
For an aesthetically pleasing and flavorful garnish, consider rimming the glass with cinnamon sugar, adding a cinnamon stick, or a slice of orange as garnish. A small sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on top of the cocktail can also enhance its autumnal vibe.
Is there a specific technique for mixing the Pumpkin Spice Margarita to ensure the best flavor?
Yes, the Pumpkin Spice Margarita should be thoroughly shaken, not stirred, to properly blend the pumpkin puree with the other liquid ingredients. This ensures a smooth texture and helps to release the full range of flavors. Serve it cold to enjoy its refreshing qualities.
How can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Pumpkin Spice Margarita?
To create a non-alcoholic Pumpkin Spice Margarita, replace the tequila and Cointreau with a combination of non-alcoholic spirits designed to mimic the flavor of tequila, and an orange juice concentrate or non-alcoholic orange liqueur alternative. Adjust the quantities to taste, keeping the pumpkin puree, lime, and lemon juices consistent with the original recipe for a similarly festive and flavorful experience.

This is an interesting riff, but it totally needs sugar. I'd say about 15-20 ml simple syrup would do the trick.
i wonder if a 1/2 oz pumpkin spice syrup would do the trick.
That actually sounds pretty good 👍
