The Thanksgiving (Apple) Margarita You Didn't Know You Needed

The holidays are a great time for a signature cocktail! You only need to buy a limited amount of ingredients, things can be prepped in advance, and it screams thoughtful host! Thanksgiving has so many flavors that I wanted to go with something that would be easy to sip all day! –Hello Don Julio 🙂

This Thanksgiving Margarita is easy to make with flavors that really remind you of fall! It’s light, fresh, and you can dial up the tequila quite a bit before you can really taste it!

Ingredients:

1.5oz Tequila – I used Don Julio Reposado
1oz Grand Marnier
3oz of your favorite Apple Cider (or fresh-pressed apple juice)
1oz Fresh Lime Juice
1/2oz Agave Syrup
Ice
Optional garnish: Cinnamon sugar, sugar, apples, limes

Thanksgiving Margarita in Bulk (serves 8):

12oz Tequila – I used Don Julio Reposado
8oz Grand Marnier
24oz Apple Cider (or fresh-pressed apple juice)
8oz Fresh Lime Juice
4oz Agave Syrup

NOTE: Reposado means to restful/rested. Reposado tequilas have been aged for 2 months to a year in oak barrels.

Directions:

Rim glass with optional cinnamon/sugar blend or plain sugar
Add all ingredients + ice to a shaker or pitcher if making in bulk
Serve over ice with apple or lime garnish
Enjoy
