Who says margaritas are just for summertime?! Today I’m sharing a new favorite: Apple Cider Margaritas.
Raise your hand if you love margaritas as much as I do! These margaritas are so sweet, tart and dangerously refreshing. What a perfect way to enjoy margaritas during the fall and winter… because I so much enjoy apple cider during the cold months.
These are incredibly easy to make. All you’re going to need is tequila, apple cider, triple sec (orange liqueur) and lime juice. I used a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for rimming the glasses… so good!
If you want to get all fancy, garnish with a lime slice, apple slice and star anise. A cinnamon stick would be good, also!
Cheers and happy mixing!

This drink was a huge hit! It is refreshing and not overly sweet. It was the perfect addition to our holiday party. We skipped the star anise, just not a fan of it.
