Cozy up with an Apple Cider Margarita this Fall! This cocktail is a delicious mix of tequila, orange liquor, and apple cider. A perfect addition for your Thanksgiving gathering.

Favorite Fall Margarita

I can’t wait to serve this simple margarita when we gather for Thanksgiving!

I love mixing up cocktails for the holidays to enjoy while we’re prepping and putting the finishing touches on our feast.

Last year I made Spanish Sangria and the year before Cranberry Cosmopolitans, but this year I thought I would mix together some warm spice flavors and came up with this Fall Margarita.

I taste tested this margarita with Alan and Sam and they both reported their approval with high fives.

Although Sam did ask if there was any alcohol in his drink!

This drink goes down nice and smooth, so there is potential for enjoying without realizing you’re consuming alcohol.

Oh, and Sam is spot on, I just may have added a little less tequila to his drink (shhhh).

Apple Cider Margarita

We celebrated Sam’s 21st birthday in September so he’s legitimate for alcohol consumption and more importantly he’s a responsible kid, but I’ll probably always water down his drinks!

Remember adding half juice and half water when kids were toddlers?

Well, I realized now I’ve toned down my adult childs cocktail! LOL

Tips For Apple Cider Margaritas

I do have a couple of tips that I think make this drink extra special.

First, I used Cider & Spice 100% juice. R.W. Knudsen carries a preservative free and no sugar added juice that is quite tasty!

The juice has extra spices like cinnamon, cloves and allspice that are delicious together.

Second, I used tequila that’s 100% Agave, which means that the tequila doesn’t have additional sugars added as well.

You don’t need it with the natural sugars from the juice and the sweetness of the orange liquor.

Grand Marnier is more expensive than Triple Sec, but I think it’s worth the splurge!

Top your drinks with a slice of apple and cinnamon stick and you have one tasty cocktail!
