Sauza® Pumpkin Pie-tini

• 1 ½ parts Sauza® Blue Reposado 100% Agave Tequila
• 3 parts cream
• ½ part Torani® Pumpkin Spice Syrup
• 1 part simple syrup
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• ¼  tsp. cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
• Whipped Cream and cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Cranberry Orange Margarita

• 1 ½ parts Sauza® Blue Silver 100% Agave Tequila
• ½ part DeKuyper® Triple Sec
• 4 parts cranberry juice
• 2 parts orange juice
• 2 oranges
• ½ cup cranberries, frozen
• 2 tbsp. sugar

Preparation: First make your garnishes. Freeze ½ cup of cranberries. Using a channel knife cut a long spiral from on orange (see if you can make it all the way in one try!) and cut into 6 inch pieces. Twist the peels around your bar spoon and reserve for garnish.

Zest the other orange with a spice grater to remove just the peel and none of the pith and combine with sugar.

Cut the zested orange into wedges. Rub a wedge of orange around half the rim of your glasses. Roll the glasses through the sugared orange zest.

In a shaker, combine the rest of the sugar and orange zest mixture with the cranberry juice, orange juice, Sauza® Blue Silver, orange liqueur, and the juice from the orange. Twist the orange peel over the drink and place on the prepared glass. Top with frozen cranberries and serve your cocktail! Salud!
