Apple Cider Margaritas
Description
Apple Cider Margaritas blend the sweetness and spice of apple cider with the warmth of gold tequila and the orange notes from Grand Marnier. The glass rim is coated with a mix of cane sugar, coarse sugar, and cinnamon, complementing the cider's natural sweetness. Fresh orange segments coat the rim and slices of orange and apple are added inside, enhancing aroma and visual appeal.
Prepared by stirring the spirit and cider mixture over ice, this cocktail is served cold but invokes the cozy fall season with its cinnamon accents and fruit garnish. The choice of gold tequila adds a richer warmth compared to silver, which balances well with the cider's crispness and the citrusy orange liqueur.
Serving this margarita in a cinnamon-sugar rimmed glass with fresh fruit and cinnamon sticks adds interest beyond the drink itself, making it appropriate for festive gatherings where seasonal flavors are appreciated.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce Grand Marnier
- 1 ounce tequila gold
- 5-6 ounces apple cider sweet
- orange segments and slices
- apple segments and slices
- cinnamon for glass rimming
- cane sugar
- coarse sugar
- cinnamon sticks for garnish
Instructions
- Add a few spoonfuls of cane sugar, coarse sugar and cinnamon to a plate. Run an orange segment around the edge of the glass, then press into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat the rim. Add a few orange slices in the bottom of the glass, fill with ice, then add the Grand Marnier, tequila and apple cider and stir to mix. Garnish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks. Enjoy!
- Note: As a rule, I generally prefer silver tequila in my margaritas, but the gold here really gives a “warmth” that matches the cider and cinnamon perfectly.
