    Apple Ginger Margaritas

    Apple ginger margaritas are without a doubt here to spice things up! Basically, we’ve got sugar, spice and everything nice in this fall cocktail! Apple cider has always been my fall beverage of choice, so I knew I had to use it in a recipe! The apple cider brings an element of sweetness to the margarita, while the ginger brings a bit of spice! 

    Why You Should Make Apple Ginger Margaritas

    • You only need a few simple ingredients to wow your taste buds!
    • Think margarita, but make it Fall! What’s not to love?
    • Sip on this while you’re preparing Thanksgiving dinner! Or you'll at least be able to keep everyone else out of the kitchen with these margs.

    What's in This Recipe?

    ingredients to make apple ginger margaritas
    • Ginger root - you can find this near the garlic and shallots at most grocery stores.
    • Lime juice - fresh squeezed is ALWAYS better. Don’t come at me if you make it with that stuff in a bottle. I can already tell you it won’t taste as good.
    • Tequila - pick your favorite.
    • Apple cider - look for it during the Fall months! 
    • Ginger beer - this will add a nice fizzy element and extra ginger flavor.
    • Sugar - for the rim of the glass.
    • Ice - it's a cozy drink but you still want it cold!
    • Apple slices - totally optional, throw them into the glass and use as a garnish!
    • Crystalized ginger - you can add this right on top of your drink or stick it on a skewer or toothpick.

    How to Make Apple Ginger Margaritas

    1. Rub a lime wedge or water over the rim of your glass. Turn the glass upside down and dip the rim into the sugar until it is coated. Set aside. 
    2. Add the sliced ginger and lime juice to a cocktail shaker or jar. Muddle the ginger to help release it’s flavor.
    3. Add the ice, tequila and apple cider. Shake to combine.
    4. Pour the margarita into the sugar rimmed glass. Top it off with the ginger beer. Garnish with apple slices and crystalized ginger. Cheers!

    Tips & Tricks

    • Use fresh ginger root rather than one in a bottle or jar. Fresh ginger has the zing you need to make this drink pop!
    • I’ve only tried this with apple cider, however if you’re in a pinch I think apple juice would be a decent substitute.
    • Additionally, if you can’t find ginger beer or simply don’t want to buy it, try using ginger ale to top off your drink. It should still add ginger flavor and fizz!
    • If you don’t have a muddler, just use the end of a wooden spoon to squish the ginger as much as you can.
