Apple Cider Margarita

Easy Apple Cider Margarita Recipe that is perfect for Fall! Quick and easy to make with apple cider, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.

Apple Cider Margarita

I am so excited it is time for fall cocktails! This is my absolute favorite time of year!

This apple cider margarita is the perfect fall twist on a classic margarita.  You could even serve this at Thanksgiving for a fun dinner cocktail.

Ingredients

• Tequila - Reposado or Blanco
• Apple Cider
• Triple Sec Orange Liqueur
• Lime Juice - Fresh squeezed

Garnishes - Ground Cinnamon Sugar, Cinnamon Stick, Star Anise, apple slices

Tequila - We suggest using Blanco tequila or reposado tequila in this cocktail.

Apple Cider - If you don't have apple cider you can use apple juice but it will not have the spices that are normally mixed into apple cider.

Triple Sec - If you don't have triple sec you can also use Cointreau or Grand Marnier, other orange liqueurs.

Equipment Needed

Cocktail Shaker

Margarita Glass or Rocks Glass

Ice Cube maker - This ice cube maker produces the most amazing cubes of ice perfect for cocktails. It easily fits in the freezer and you can make up to 3 trays of round ball ice at a time.

Glassware - We use a margarita glass since it is easy to tell at a glance what type of cocktail we are serving at a Fall party. You can also serve this in a rocks glass if you want a shorter glass.

This fall margarita could also be served in a mason jar and look super cute! I am a huge fan of fall flavors and have been making so many recipes with apple cider and pumpkin this year.

Get ready for all the fall fun! If you are throwing a harvest party or fall party I think your guests will love this twist on a traditional margarita.

Step 1 - Fill a flat plate with cinnamon sugar and spread it out enough that it will fit the margarita glass. Cut lime wedge and run the lime along the rim of the glass to moisten it. Dip the glass into the cinnamon sugar until the edges are coated.

Step 2 - Combine tequila, apple cider, triple sec, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until cold.

Step 3- Strain the cocktail shaker and pour the apple cider margarita into the sugared rim of the margarita glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

Prep time - It shouldn't take too long to prep for this cocktail. The most important thing is to get everything in one place.

Total Time - it only takes a few minutes to prepare this cocktail. You can make a bunch of these at the same time by doubling or tripling the recipe. Just pour everything into a pitcher and stir with ice.

If you want a sweeter cocktail you can add in a pinch of brown sugar, simple syrup, or maple syrup.

You may need a bit more apple cider to fill your margarita glass depending on how many ounces the glass holds.
