How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Margarita
Add tequila, triple sec, orange juice, and pumpkin to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until ingredients are well chilled. Pour into prepared glasses and serve with a cinnamon stick.
Pumpkin Spice Margaritas for a Crowd
Instead of using a cocktail shaker, scale recipe to desired servings and serve in a pitcher with slices of oranges. Do not add ice to the pitcher to avoid watering down the cocktail. Stir margarita in pitcher before serving.
To Make Ahead
To make ahead for Thanksgiving or any fall party, prepare margaritas in the morning with no ice. Â Store tightly covered in refrigerator until ready to serve. Stir margaritas well before serving if serving in a pitcher. For smaller servings, add to cocktail shaker with ice, shake and serve.
