Reviews
Love, the simple syrup is good but for my taste I use half of the sugar, then it’s perfect.
This margarita is awesome! Everyone loved it! I decided to use the whole spiced simple syrup recipe and made a pitcher to make it easier as another reviewer suggested. My ratio was the entire simple syrup recipe (about 9oz), 1&1/4c Tequila (start with 1c and see how you like it), 1/2c lime juice, 10 dashes orange bitters. For serving I filled the glasses with ice cubes, poured the margarita in, added a lime wedge, grated a little fresh nutmeg on top (another reviewer suggestion, thanks). I steeped my syrup about 3 hours. It is a sweet margarita but even my “original on the rocks with salt rim loving” husband loved this. Definitely a regular at Thanksgiving from now on!
Wonderful! Hi Bobby Flay could you please help me out with a recipe. Thank you Jeane.

for girl’s night in slumber party
with a recipe for a fabulous. Pina Colada? My girl’s and I would appreciate it. Ages 64 62
68 40 and my Mom is 86.
Delicious! Make it every thanksgiving. Perfectly subtle warm spicy notes.
Very nice! The only thing I will change next time is to reduce the sugar syrup by half an ounce. I found the recipe a bit too sweet for my palate. Otherwise, a lovely variation on a favorite theme. Thanks, Bobby!
Oh my goodness! This is a GREAT margarita. I used some spiced Cherry Bitters that were Bourbon Barrel Aged from Woodford Reserve and it made for a wonderful combination. Based on the previous reviews, I steeped the simple syrup with the spices all afternoon. Such a fabulous conclusion to the end of the Thanksgiving preparation day!! This is my first review, ever, due to my enthusiasm for this cocktail. Thank you, Bobby Flay!!!
This has become my favorite fall alcoholic beverage in the last couple years. Thank you, Bobby Flay!
This recipe is a keeper!! Make sure and grate the fresh nutmeg over the rocks – great flavor!!
This was so good I doubled the simple syrup and made more for the holiday weekend!
