This cocktail has heat baby! And the garnish looks just like a mini pumpkin. Perfect for Halloween parties or something to sip on between candy handouts. I love spicy margaritas and the name speaks for itself. This recipe is a crowd pleaser and I can never seem to keep up!
The trick is using freshly squeezed lime juice (not that pre-bottled baloney) and an oaky tequila. Hornitos® Black Barrel has fantastic flavor with notes of Whiskey. Autumn in a glass. Angry Pumpkins are a huge hit at parties and I can’t make them fast enough! Recipe below.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Hornitos® Black Barrel Tequila
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 oz agave nectar
- 12 cilantro leaves
- 1/5 inch piece of an orange habanero pepper (use less if you like it less spicy)
Directions:
Slightly press the habanero pepper and spank the cilantro leaves. Yes, I said spank. They are very naughty this time of year and it also releases the flavor. Add all liquid ingredients starting with lime, agave, and the Hornitos® tequila to a shaker. Add ice, shake vigorously and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a full size habanero pepper.
Optional: Add a salty rim with a dash of cumin.
Tip: Save time by squeezing lime juice before guests arrive.
You can easily liven things up with some simple party decor. I love Etsy Shop, Sparkles In Love and these black and white banners are great for Halloween! How darling are these spooky straws? They would go great with your Angry Pumpkins.
Cheers friends!
