Ingredients
Tequila - I like using Reposado Tequila for this margarita.
Cointreau - my favorite orange liqueur
Lime Juice -only the freshly squeezed kind!
Pumpkin Puree - the unsweetened canned puree
Pumpkin Pie Spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove
Brown Sugar - this goes into the pumpkin spice simple syrup.
Salt & more spices for the rim
Instructions
In a sauce pan combine brown sugar, water and spices for the simple syrup. Bring to a simmer and and cook over medium-low stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Whisk in canned pumpkin once syrup is cooled and chill or set aside until ready to use.
Make the rim mixture by combining coarse sea salt, brown sugar and cinnamon on a small plate.
Wet the rim of your margarita glass with a lime wedge and dip in the salt mixture. Fill glass with ice and set aside to make the cocktail.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice combine: 2 oz tequila, 1 oz cointreau, ½ oz lime juice and 2 oz of pumpkin simple syrup puree. Shake until well chilled.
Strain into prepared glass, garnish with cinnamon stick and enjoy!
