Spicy Pumpkin Spice Margarita
Reposado, Pumpkin Spice + Fresh Pepper Heat
Also known as: Swicy Pumpkin Spice Margarita
Fall's favorite flavor, with a little warmth of its own. Reposado tequila, fresh lime, and pumpkin spice syrup get one 1/4 oz pour of Margaheata® Swicy Syrup, so the fresh-pepper sweet heat lands right alongside the cinnamon and clove. Finished on a cinnamon-sugar rim. Prefer it 0% ABV? There's a full mocktail version of this recipe.

Pro Tip
Already pouring a pumpkin spice syrup this season? Use it. No syrup on hand? Mix equal parts pumpkin puree and maple syrup with a pinch each of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Reposado carries the spice better than a blanco. Sweeter syrups soften the heat, so if yours runs sweet, say "Swi-cy" twice (two squeezes). Pour trick: 1/4 oz = a 1-second squeeze. Count "Swi-cy" as you pour.
Every delicious spicy version needs Margaheata.
Keep the tequila, vodka, or rum you already like; Margaheata brings the sweet heat from hand-selected fresh serranos, habaneros, and jalapeños. You set the heat one 1-second squeeze at a time, and since it's 0% ABV the same bottle works in the cocktail and the mocktail. The only thing it replaces is that sad half-jalapeño in the back of your fridge.
