This Plum Bourbon Margarita is an early fall must for your next happy hour! This cocktail recipe was honestly a last minute taste test gone right! It’s amazing how truly versatile bourbon can be and this margarita is a prime example of that!

Plum season ends pretty soon, so I figured this plum bourbon margarita would be a great toast to the end of the season (and to the start of fall)!

So let’s get to it!

What You’ll Need To Make A Plum Bourbon Margarita

For One Serving

• 1 Red Plum (roughly chopped)
• 2 oz of Bourbon
• 3/4 oz of Lime Juice
• 1 oz of Triple Sec
• 3/4 oz of Honey

How To Make It

The most important (and prettiest) part of this cocktail is the honey salt rim! It adds a sweet and salty addition to enhance the flavors of the plums and bourbon.

First, add a pile of kosher salt to a small plate and coat the rim of your cocktail glass with honey. I love to use a hot honey for a little kick of heat. It’s not spicy, it’s just a flavorful heat. Here’s my favorite hot honey that I love to use!

Then, light dip your honey rim into the salt until completely covered. Set your glass to the side.

In a cocktail shaker, add the plums, lime juice, bourbon, and triple sec. Muddle the plums until they’re well broken down. Then, add the honey and crushed ice. Shake for 8-10 seconds before straining into your honey rim glass full of ice. Garnish with a plum slice and enjoy! This cocktail recipe is a great way to enjoy a little fall flavor while still waiting for the fall weather to make it’s appearance!
