Pumpkin Spice Margaritas

PUMPKIN SPICE MARGARITAS WITH TAJIN BROWN SUGAR RIM

Margaritas. Pumpkin Spice. Married together.

When you think margaritas, you don’t normally think pumpkin. Or pumpkin spice really.

But this drink is seriously delicious, and best served cold from the shaker, and also over crushed ice is fun too. Trust me, we did both! For the rim, I used used lime juice to hold the Tajin seasoning mix with brown sugar. The chile and lime flavor is too good!

I used Heinen’s pumpkin spice cider for this mix, but if you don’t have access to that, I will post the recipe for the puree syrup.
