This plum cocktail is the ideal alcoholic beverage to go from summer to autumn with. Created by the blog Appeasing a Food Geek as part of the #DrinkTheSummer virtual cocktail party, the Sugar Plum Margarita is refreshing with distinctive fall flavors.
The sweet libation features a plum-based simple syrup that is not only super tasty, but also looks really pretty as well. The rest of the Sugar Plum Margarita consists of lime juice, silver tequila, ice and coarse sugar for the rim. For bonus points, you can also garnish the rim of your plum cocktail with a small slice of plum.
This is a great drink to beat the heat with while also looking forward to the new season.
