You Will Love This Apple Cider Margarita Recipe!
My favorite time of year just got better with this delicious Apple Cider Margarita! The combination of apple cider, tequila and lime turns a classic margarita into your favorite fall drink.

I love to use the Calirosa Rosa Blanco Tequila in all my drink recipes because of its smooth taste and signature rosa glow. Calirosa Rosa Tequila is made with the finest blue agave from Mexico and aged in red wine barrels. It truly levels up any margarita!

Ingredients:
- 1½ ounces Calirosa Rosa Blanco Tequila
- 1½ ounces apple cider
- 1 tablespoon lime juice ½ ounce or ½ lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup
Rim:
- Cinnamon & Sugar
Optional Garnish:
- Cinnamon Stick
- Star of Anise

Directions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, cider, lime juice and simple syrup. Shake well.
- Rim a glass by running a lime wedge over the rim. On a separate shallow plate, add cinnamon and sugar. Dip glass to coat the rim.
- Fill glass with ice (I made apple cider ice cubes using a pumpkin silicon mold)
- Garnish with apple slice, cinnamon stick and star anise.
- Enjoy!

Here’s a Quick Video Tutorial!
Perfect Presentation Platters
Margarita Glasses: I used these stemless glasses that I absolutely love! You may also love this set of 6 stemless margarita glasses from Amazon or these fun coupe glasses from Target. You also don’t need to have special Margarita glasses for this Apple Cider Margarita! If you’d like stemless wine glasses you could also use for cocktails, I love the gold accents in this set from Nordstrom or the copper accent in this set from Amazon.
Wooden Serving Trays: It is so convenient to use a wooden serving board like a portable bar to store the cocktail ingredients on. For a larger area, I love the double-handle on this option, or this round wooden Target tray, which I get so much use out of year-round! Walmart has beautiful options that are circular or rectangular at a great price, as well as this Gold Metal Party Tray if you’d prefer some glitz!
Larger Trays: If you’d like a large rectangular wooden tray, this wooden version from Target is great, as well as this beautiful choice from Etsy. For a higher-end round tray, I love my MacKenzie-Childs checkered party tray.
Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
This Apple Cider Margarita comes together quickly and is best served fresh, but you could definitely prep the rims of the glasses with the Cinnamon Sugar and slice the apple slices in advance. If you sprinkle them with lemon juice, they won’t turn as brown.

Cheers!
I hope this delicious Apple Cider Margarita hits the spot for you this season! And if you love Margaritas, you may also want to check out How to Make an Epic Margarita Board, this Margarita Gift Basket, or perhaps this Simple Holiday Sangria. Have a wonderful day, friends!
