Apple Cider Margaritas
Apple Cider Margaritas are a fresh, autumn twist on a classic favorite! Combining the crisp sweetness of apple cider with the zesty kick of tequila and a hint of citrus, this margarita is a seasonal cocktail that perfectly captures the essence of fall!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 2 ounces apple cider
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce grand marnier
- ice for serving
Cinnamon Sugar for rim
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
For garnish
- cinnamon stick
- star anise
- sprig of rosemary
Instructions
- Add sugar and cinnamon to a plate. Stir to combine.Run the cut side of a lime wedge around the rim of the glass.Dip the glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture turning a couple times to make sure its coated.
- Pour the tequila, apple cider, lime juice and grand mariner into the sugar rimmed glass. Stir then fill the glass to the top with ice.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick, star anise and a sprig of rosemary on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Chill your ingredients. Keep the apple cider and tequila in the fridge ahead of time so your margarita stays crisp and refreshing.
- Prep the glass rims first. Mix the cinnamon sugar and coat your glasses before pouring the cocktail to avoid sticky messes.
- Use fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice can taste flat, so fresh-squeezed juice makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Consider ice options. Large ice cubes or spheres melt slower, keeping the drink from diluting too quickly.
- Rim a few glasses at once. If making multiple drinks, prep all rims before mixing cocktails for a faster, smoother workflow.
