A cozy and easy-to-make apple cider margarita featuring a cinnamon salt rim and a caramel drizzle, perfect for fall and spontaneous gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) Tequila Blanco
  • 3 oz (90 ml) Fresh, unfiltered apple cider
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Coarse sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Caramel sauce
  • Ice cubes
  • Apple slices (optional, for garnish)
  • Cinnamon sticks (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the cinnamon.
  2. Rub the edge of your glass with a lime wedge to moisten it. Dip the rim into the cinnamon salt mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks all around. Set the glass aside.
  3. Using a spoon or small brush, drizzle about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce inside the glass, swirling it around so it coats the interior sides.
  4. In your cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz (60 ml) tequila blanco, 3 oz (90 ml) apple cider, 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice, and 1 oz (30 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur. Add a generous handful of ice cubes.
  5. Secure the lid and shake for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
  6. Pour the mixture carefully into the prepared glass over fresh ice cubes.
  7. Garnish with a thin apple slice on the rim or drop a cinnamon stick in the glass for stirring and aroma (optional).

Notes

Chill your glass before serving for best results. Use fresh lime juice for brightness. Shake vigorously with ice to chill and dilute just right. Adjust caramel drizzle to taste to avoid overpowering sweetness. Rim the glass carefully to balance cinnamon and salt flavors. Can substitute triple sec with apple brandy or spiced rum for variations. For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and triple sec with sparkling apple cider and orange juice, and use cinnamon sugar for the rim.
