Apple Cider Margarita

This cocktail is ideal for festive gatherings or intimate fireside sipping.

Ingredients
2 oz silver or reposado tequila
1½ oz fresh apple cider
(unfiltered preferred)
½ oz triple sec (orange liqueur)
¾ oz fresh lime juice
½ oz agave nectar or simple syrup (optional, to taste)
Cinnamon-sugar mixture,
for rimming glass (equal parts
sugar and cinnamon)
Thin apple slices and cinnamon stick, for garnish
Ice

Instructions
Prepare the glass: Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set aside.

Mix: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine tequila, apple cider, triple sec, lime juice and agave nectar (if using). Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.

Serve: Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass or a chilled coupe, depending on presentation preference.

Garnish: Add a thin apple slice on the rim and a cinnamon stick for fragrance and flair.

Tip: For a crowd-pleasing batch version, multiply ingredients by six and serve in a large pitcher with apple slices floating on top. Add a splash of club soda just before serving for effervescence. CS
