Apple Cider Margarita
Add some spicy spirit to the season with these apple cider margaritas.
Fruity and spiced with the flavours of the season, these apple cider margaritas have just the perfect holiday kick.
I love making a big batch of these when guests are coming over to celebrate the holidays or the New Year. Though optional in this recipe, I do recommend adding the salt and cinnamon brown sugar rim to the glasses. It adds extra flavour and a sweet hit against the spirited margarita.
If you don't have Triple Sec on hand Cointreau, or other orange liquor, will also work.
The garnishes are also optional, but they really make these drinks look great and wonderfully seasonal.
