Why Pumpkin Spice in Cocktails Works?

Pumpkin spice isn’t just for lattes! Adding it to cocktails like this margarita gives a cozy, warming depth to your drink. The blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves enhances the natural flavors of tequila and citrus, making this a perfect autumn cocktail.

Perfect Pairings for a Fall Margarita Night:

Looking to create a fall-themed cocktail hour? Serve this Pumpkin Spice Margarita alongside hearty, savory appetizers like baked brie with cranberry sauce, roasted nuts, or even a fall charcuterie board with spiced nuts, sharp cheeses, and apple slices.

The sweet and spiced flavors of the margarita pair perfectly with these types of autumnal bites, making for an evening that feels like a cozy celebration
