Thanksgiving Margarita Recipe

Thanksgiving Margarita

We made this cocktail last year for Thanksgiving and now I can’t wait to make it again! I love the smooth and spicy Fall taste of the margarita.

This recipe makes one drink, so just multiply everything by 4 or 5 if you want to make a pitcher of it.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz 100% apple cider
  • 2 oz pear juice
  • oz gold tequila
  • 1 oz Grand Mariner or orange liqueur
  • Salt for glass
  • Simple syrup or lime wedge (to adhere salt to glass)
  • Ice
  • Cinnamon sticks for ganrish

Instructions

  • Pour a layer of salt on a small plate. Run a lime along the rim of your cocktail glass, turn glass upside down and gently press the rim into salt.
  • Scoop ice into glass so that it is about 3/4 of the way full and squeeze the rest of your lime wedge over the ice.
  • Combine liquid ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
  • Strain ice and pour your Thanksgiving margarita into prepared cocktail glass.
  • Finish with a whole cinnamon stick.
