Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon sugar rim
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- A lime wedge
Margarita
- 1.5 oz silver tequila
- 0.5 oz Cointreau
- 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 oz apple cider
- 0.25 oz maple syrup (or to taste - I add 1-2 tsp)
- Dash cinnamon (a light sprinkle)
- 1-2 dashes orange bitters
- Ice cubes
- Optional garnish: apple and lime slices
Instructions
Cinnamon sugar rim
- Combine the turbinado sugar and cinnamon on a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it in the sugar. Set aside.
Margarita
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, add a handful of ice, and shake for 10-15 seconds until it’s very cold to touch.
- Pour into a short glass over ice, garnish with an apple and lime slice, and enjoy!
Notes
Spices - You use apple pie spice or just plain cinnamon, whichever you prefer.
Storing - Drinks like this don’t store well. I recommend making it right before serving.
Cocktail shaker: If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use a large mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.
