Pecan Pie Margarita

I am up to my elbows in groceries, silverware and football decorations.  With the excitement of our Houston Texans playing this year on Thanksgiving Day (super stoked) I almost forgot to feature an amazing celebratory margarita. I mean turkey, football and tequila on the same day it’s almost too much for this chica!

Last year I featured Pumpkin and Cranberry and received rave reviews.  Guess I’m not the only gal addicted to tequila.

This year I had planned on combining pumpkin and cranberry, a sweet, savory margarita twist. But last week as I flipped through the latest Food Network magazine I spotted pecan pie soda – what? Swoon~

I just knew I had to play around with this idea. I made the syrup; actually I doubled the recipe in preparation for Thanksgiving and began adding tequila little by little. I wanted to taste the pecan infusion, but not end up with an extremely sweet margarita. I rimmed the glass with a mix of salt and brown sugar and what’s pecan pie without the tasty crust. A few snips with my cookie cutters, a quick bake and we are set.

I hope you’ll give it a try, even with a splash of sparkling water this syrup would make a great soda for the kiddos. But after an entire day day of cooking, cleaning and organizing add the tequila, a hefty dose. Relax, unwind and pat yourself on the back for another successful Thanksgiving accomplished.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Abrazos, besos y mucho carino!
