In our humble opinion, there’s no reason to say goodbye to margaritas just because summer’s over.
Fall weather screams for warming and spicy beverages. Last year Linde and I did four facebook lives each week, every Thursday was herbal cocktail night and I am not joking… this was my all time favorite cocktail!
The addition of a few seasonal herbs and spices are a great way to infuse some autumn, as well as some herbal goodness, into our favorite warm-weather cocktail.
Pumpkin, spices and tequila? YES PLEASE!
