I bought a gallon of apple cider to experiment making the Apple Pie-tini and it was so good, I wondered what other cocktails I could come up with. Maybe something a little different than the norm would be fun. I’ve blogged about a couple rum drinks before, but I haven’t done a tequila one yet so here you go…an Apple Margarita.
At first I thought it sounded a little weird but it’s not. After all, margaritas come in all sorts of flavors like strawberry and mango, so why not apple? In a typical margarita I like to add Grand Marnier, so for this one I just replaced it with apple liqueur. Instead of a sweet and sour mix I used apple cider and some lime juice. It all makes perfect sense…and a really good Fall margarita!
