Apple Spice Margarita

Autumn Apple Sangria is a delicious fall season drink. As the weather turns cool and crisp – and nearby orchards are teeming with juicy apples and pears, ready to pick – we love being able to invite friends over to hang out and relax with a glass or mug of this apple sangria in front of the fire.

This Apple Spice Margarita recipe is the drink to make when you want to spice up your fall dinners or host a Christmas party. But what makes this holiday cocktail a hit is that it mixes the classic flavors of your standard summer margarita with a winter twist of apple cider and cinnamon rim sugar. We prefer organic non-alcoholic apple cider in this drink recipe. Can’t find that? You can also for apple juice or apple-cranberry juice.

Want to make this a mocktail instead? That is super easy. Swap out the tequila for 3 oz each of ginger beer and sparkling water, which will help cut the sweetness of the apple cider.
