Savor the crisp essence of autumn in a glass with this Apple Cider Margarita. This tantalizing cocktail blends the tangy zest of fresh apple cider with the bold kick of tequila, all perfectly balanced with a touch of citrus.
The Classic Margarita will always be one of my favorite cocktails, but when the seasons change I tend to crave fall cocktails like a Pumpkin Pie Martini or something with a subtle fall flavor like the Pomegranate Martini. With this version of the margarita, I can have both!
