What You Will Need:
- Tequila - Any type of tequila will work well, but I use Blanco tequila for this fall cocktail.
- Old Fashioned Apple Cider - Apple cider is flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
- Triple Sec - an orange-flavored liqueur that is traditionally used in margaritas.
- Lime - fresh lime juice is best!
- Garnish (optional) - apple slices, cinnamon sticks, cinnamon sugar rim
How to Make a Thanksgiving Margarita!
This cozy, fall margarita recipe is my favorite easy Thanksgiving cocktail. If you are making this cocktail for a crowd it's easy to double or triple the recipe. Just add it to a large pitcher.
I use Blanco tequila in this recipe, but I think an oak flavored Reposado tequila would be delicious as well. Simply mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker or a large pitcher if you are making this for a crowd.
It's fun to garnish this apple cider margarita with sliced apples or a cinnamon stick. I also like to add a cinnamon sugar rim to the margarita glass. To garnish the rim, wet the rim with a lime wedge then dip the glass in a plate of a cinnamon sugar mixture.
