Apple Cider Margarita

Cheers to the freakin’ weekend, and I’m about to have me some fun!! 💃🏽🎉🥳

I am en route to Newport, Rhode Island, with my family to celebrate the LAST weekend in my 2️⃣0️⃣s! To kick off the festivities, I created this delicious seasonal cocktail. 🍁

Ingredients (serves ✌🏽)
🍂To make cocktail:
• 1/2 lemon, squeezed
• 1 lime, squeezed
• 3 shots mezcal or tequila
• 3/4c apple cider
• Ice
• Sparkling water, to top off
• Sprinkle of cinnamon

🍂To rim glass (optional):
• Other 1/2 of lemon, cut into 2 wedges
• Coconut sugar

🍂For garnish (optional):
• Apple slices (2)
• Cinnamon sticks (2)

🍂Directions
• Add lemon juice, lime juice, mezcal or tequila, and apple cider to a shaker with ice.
• Shake, shake, shake!
• *TO RIM GLASS: pour coconut sugar on a small plate, rub lemon wedge around the rim of glass, and dip into coconut sugar.
• Pour cocktail with into glass, top off with sparkling water, and sprinkle some cinnamon.✨
• *FOR GARNISH: add a cinnamon stick and an apple slice.
• Enjoy!

*Note: I created this recipe on a whim, so I didn’t have any cinnamon sticks on hand, and I thought of rimming the glass after the fact 🤷🏽‍♀️, but I couldn’t wait to share!! So I’ll be adding these next time! 😆
