I received a bottle of Partida Blanco Tequila for this post. All opinions are strictly my own.
It’s September and I’m already over the whole pumpkin spice latte thing
It’s true, that while I love me some pumpkin pie and you can pumpkin spice my donuts and cheesecake and I’ll binge with a huge smile, lattes…not so much. Most of you know that I’m actually retired from the coffee (and restaurant) business and if it’s got flavor added, I won’t drink it. Bake with it – OH YEAH. Drink it? Not so much.
That is with one exception – COCKTAILS
With a bottle of Partida Tequila Blanco in my bar, I eyed the crystal clear liquid in a beautiful bottle with an idea. Could I? Would I? You bet I would. That well-balanced taste that Partida’s Blanco has would make a perfect margarita.
After rummaging through the cupboard
I found what I hoped would be the makings of a great Pumpkin Spice Margarita. I grabbed the Partida Tequila off the bar and went to work like a mad scientist. Of course, I had to have a few sips of the Blanco as I was working, and I’d forgotten how bright and crisp this tequila is. I just knew that the agave flavor of this tequila wouldn’t get lost against the heavier pumpkin.
