Adding ginger is the perfect way to give your margarita a spicy upgrade for fall. Tequila, lime juice, and either a ginger liqueur or a housemade ginger syrup will bring a nice fresh pop to your margarita.
These cocktails are generally on the fruity, refreshing side, but ginger will warm up the flavors a bit without weighing them down. It won't make your drink as spicy as if you added a jalapeño, but it will provide a pungent, peppery kick.
If you don't want to wait for your ginger syrup ingredients to sit overnight, you can also whip up a simple version on the stove. You'll want to peel and slice or chop a ginger root.
To whip up a spicy, earthy margarita, add 1 ounce of your syrup into the shaker instead of another sweetener. If you want to go with a ginger liqueur, however, use 2 ounces for every 2 ounces of tequila.
