Servings: 2 margaritas
Ingredients
Cinnamon Sugar Rim:
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 lime wedges
Margarita Ingredients:
- ¾ cup apple cider 6 ounces
- 3 ounces tequila
- 2 Tablespoons apple butter
- 1 Tablespoon agave optional, add for a sweeter cocktail
- 1 ounce cointreau
- 1-2 cups ice for cocktail shaking and serving cocktails
Optional garnishes
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- apple slices
Instructions
Cinnamon Sugar Rim
- First, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Then, take the lime wedge and run it along the rim of each cocktail glass to moisten it. You can also use an orange wedge or lemon wedge.
- Dunk the cocktail glass rim into the bowl of cinnamon sugar and swirl it around until coated. Set aside for at least 2 minutes so the rim has time to harden before pouring in the cocktail.
Make the margaritas
- Add the apple cider, tequila, apple butter, agave, and Cointreau to a cocktail shaker. Then, fill the shaker to the top with ice.
- Add the lid and vigorously shake until the glass is frosted. Then, strain the cocktail into the two cinnamon sugar rimmed glasses.
- Serve with optional garnishes including cinnamon sticks and apple slices. Enjoy!
Notes
- Margaritas are best enjoyed served right away and do not store well as leftovers.
