Pumpkin Caramel Apple Margartia Mocktail
I’m not sure any more fall flavor could be shoved into this Pumpkin Caramel Apple Mocktail recipe. Ok, well maybe if I added roasted marshmallows as a garnish, but that might even be over the top for me. This nonalcoholic margarita is served on ice with a sweet, buttery caramel rim for the perfect fall mocktail recipe.

Margarita Mocktail Ingredients
The simple swap that makes this margarita a pumpkin mocktail instead of a cocktail is the use of a spirit alternative. In this case we’re using a Tequila alternative. The ones I recommend are Ritual Zero Proof or Lyre’s. Simply substituting one of these alcohol-free alternatives is the easiest way to make your cocktails booze free.
How to Make a Margarita Mocktail
To make this simple margarita mocktail recipe first you dip the glass into a plate of caramel to create the caramel rim. Then to cocktail shaker add the tequila alternative, apple juice, pumpkin puree, and caramel sauce. Add ice and shake in the shaker for at least thirty seconds. Add fresh ice to your glass and strain the drink into it and top with a splash of sparkling water. Enjoy your autmn mocktail with Spicy Homemade Salsa for a full happy hour right at home.
