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.
