Notes
Substitutions and Expert Tips
Instead of regular orange juice, try using blood orange juice instead.
You can use regular ground cinnamon if you don't have any pumpkin pie spice on hand.
Try using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for the rim for a more complex flavor profile. If you don't want to use sugar at all, you can go with classic margarita salt.
Make sure you're using 100% pumpkin puree and not the pre-made canned pumpkin pie mix.
