Reposado... ... more The Pumpkin Margarita takes the familiar tequila, orange liqueur and lime formula and gives it the full autumn treatment. Reposado tequila, rested in oak, brings soft vanilla and caramel notes that sit comfortably with pumpkin puree and a homemade pumpkin spice syrup warmed with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Cointreau and fresh lime keep it bright, so it drinks like a margarita first and a pumpkin pie second. A rim of salt mixed with pumpkin pie spice ties the sweet and savoury sides together, and the puree gives the drink a silky body and a glowing orange colour that is made for Halloween parties. Make the syrup a few days ahead and the drink comes together in minutes.

Method
How to make a Pumpkin Margarita

Serves 1 · Takes 5 minutes
Tequila reposado 60 ml, Cointreau 15 ml, Sugar / simple syrup 22.5 ml (Pumpkin spice syrup), Lime juice 15 ml (Freshly squeezed), Pumpkin puree 1 tablespoon, Salt ½ teaspoon (For the rim), Pumpkin pie spice ½ teaspoon (For the rim)
Mix the salt and pumpkin pie spice on a plate
Rub the rim of a rocks glass with a lime wheel and roll it in the spiced salt
Add the tequila, pumpkin spice syrup, Cointreau, lime juice and pumpkin puree to a shaker
Fill with ice and shake hard for about 20 seconds
Fill the prepared glass with ice and strain in the margarita
Garnish with a lime wheel and a cinnamon stick
~ Pumpkin spice syrup: simmer 400g sugar, 500ml water, 3 tbsp pumpkin puree, 5 cinnamon sticks, 1 tbsp grated ginger, ½ tsp nutmeg and ¼ tsp ground cloves for about 8 minutes until slightly thickened, then strain. It keeps for 3 weeks in the fridge. Simple syrup works in a pinch. ~

Power tips
Elevate the Pumpkin Margarita with these master mixologist tips

Treat the pumpkin puree like a “clouding” ingredient: dry-shake (no ice) for 8–10 seconds first to fully disperse the puree and syrup, then add ice and shake hard. This prevents pumpkin settling, gives a silkier texture, and avoids those little puree clumps that can dull the drink.
Rim strategy: do a half-rim (or a very fine rim) with spiced salt, and consider pulsing the salt + pumpkin pie spice a few times in a grinder for a finer grain. A heavy, coarse rim overwhelms pumpkin and makes the first sip read “salty cinnamon” instead of “margarita with autumn depth.”
