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
- 1½ 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.
