DESCRIPTION
How to make a festive and delicious Cranberry Apple Margarita for Thanksgiving the adults will enjoy!
COCKTAIL INGREDIENTS
- 2 ounces blanco tequila
- 2 ounces apple cider
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- 1 ounce orange juice or orange liqueur such as Cointreau
- Ice
- Brown sugar and granulated sugar for rimming glass
INGREDIENT NOTES
- Cranberry juice: Either cranberry juice cocktail or “100% juice” cranberry juice (usually cut with white grape or apple juices) works here. Pure unsweetened cranberry juice would likely be too tart in a mixed drink
- Orange juice/liqueur: This margarita works well with either. If using juice, freshly-squeezed is recommended.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Start by stirring together granulated and brown sugars on a small plate. It doesn’t have to be really precise, just enough of each to make a “golden” sugar blend.
2. Wet the outside edge of the rim with water, then press the moistened edge into the sugar until the glass is coated all the way around.
3. Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker..
4. Pour in the tequila, apple cider, cranberry juice, and orange juice/liqueur. Shake well until chilled, then pour/strain into glasses
