Caramel Apple Cider Margaritas
These margaritas are a sweet twist on a classic cocktail. With a salted caramel rim, a mix of classic margarita ingredients, a touch of caramel liqueur, fresh apple cider, and garnished with a caramel apple wedge, you'll be making these margaritas all fall season long!
Equipment
- cocktail shaker with strainer lid large sized (17-24 ounces)
- jigger or liquid ounce measuring shot glass
- margarita glasses
- cocktail skewers for garnish if desired optional
- ice cubes
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Reposado tequila
- 2 ounces Cointreau or triple sec
- 1 ounce caramel liqueur
- 4 ounces apple cider
- 1 ounce lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Garnishes
- 1 granny smith apple (sliced in wedges)
- caramel sauce

Instructions
- If garnishing, slice a granny smith apple in wedges, skewer a couple wedges, and then drizzle with caramel.
- Prepare 2 margarita glasses by rimming with caramel sauce and sprinkling flaky sea salt (optional) over top. Add ice. Set aside or place in the freezer to chill the glasses while you mix up the margaritas.
