The Sauza Harvest cocktail by libation-focused blog Drink Hacker offers a festively chilled agave tequila drink that captures the essence of the autumnal season with bold, robust and aromatic flavors. Despite the drop in temperatures, the drink is served chilled over ice capturing the temporal atmosphere so quintessential to the months of fall.
The beverage is pumpkin-themed using just under a cup of the gourd puree to create a rustic orange and sweet base. To that, maple syrup is added and two cups of high quality agave tequila. The drink is then served as a punch in glasses rimmed with brown sugar and a star anise as a garnish. The aromatic spices mixed with the sweet pumpkin puree captures the essence of fall in a drinkable format.
