If there is one thing 2020 can’t stop, it is pumpkin spice season. From lattes and shakes to muffins and cakes, this comforting fall flavor is just what we all need right now. And the only thing that can make a zesty pumpkin treat better is an island twist. Because, as we all know, everything is better when it’s made in the Margaritaville state of mind.
