Smoky pear & ginger margarita
Cocktails
The margarita has always been my go-to summer drink, but this year I'm making it my fall drink, too, with five autumnal takes on the classic cocktail. <br /> <br />I was going for cozy fireplace vibes with this sweet, smoky marg, inspired by <a href="https://vinepair.com/articles/cold-weather-margaritas/">a recipe from Charlotte Voisey</a>. The mezcal (and if you can find it, smoked sea salt) bring the smokiness I was after, while pear juice adds a delicate sweetness. Feel free to play around with the bitters here if you have different kinds on hand; ginger bitters play up the fall spice, while citrus bitters add a bit of an edge. If you've got some on hand, candied ginger makes a lovely garnish. So does a slice of dehydrated pear. (A cinnamon stick or slice of fresh ginger works just as well.) <br /> <br /><em>This recipe is featured in the article, <a href="https://food52.com/blog/22991-best-margarita-recipe-tequila-cocktails-for-fall?preview=true">5 Margarita Recipes Perfect for Fall</a>.</em>
