RECIPE FAQ’S
Do you have questions about this pumpkin spice margarita recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
WHAT GLASS DOES MARGARITA GO IN?
If you’re looking to serve only margaritas, a traditional and sturdy stemmed margarita glass is what you can use. Although, is perfectly okay to use a classic cocktail glass like in our recipe too. I personally always try to use cocktail glasses with a texture so that the drink looks extra cool.
WHAT IS THE BEST TEQUILA FOR MARGARITAS?
As you’re mixing it, I would suggest using a tequila you can easily drink it on your own. You can use a budget-friendly version of tequila for making margaritas. You can, of course, go with more expensive ones.
CAN YOU MAKE THIS A FROZEN PUMPKIN MARGARITA?
Yes, you can. Simply shake all the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker, then blend until you get a slush consistency. Pour into your favorite margarita glass.
WHAT PAIRS WELL WITH A PUMPKIN MARGARITA?
This margarita is slightly sweet, with a bit of acid, so it pairs well with a pumpkin hummus, apple cider whoopie pies, pumpkin desserts and any fall dessert, really. You can also pair it with Thanksgiving main dishes for the ultimate fall feast.
CAN YOU MAKE ENOUGH FOR A PITCHER?
Sure! If you’re serving this fall margarita for a crowd, make a pitcher and save time. Multiply the ingredients by four when making a pitcher, it should make around 4-5 servings (based on the classic pitcher size).
HOW MANY SERVINGS CAN YOU MAKE FROM THIS RECIPE?
Based on the ingredients below, you can make 2 servings of this margarita. Multiply it by 2 or 4 to make around 5 more servings (in a pitcher).
