Pumpkin Spice Margarita

Savor the flavorful embrace of autumn with the Pumpkin Spice Margarita. A sip of fall in a glass, this cocktail takes the traditional margarita and blends it with seasonal spices and pumpkin.

Fall cocktails are the perfect toast to the season, which is why I love including themed drinks such as the Apple Cider Margarita or a Pumpkin Spice Margarita when planning for Thanksgiving.
