Recipe: Apple Cider Margarita

This Apple Cider Margarita is perfectly festive for a fall night. It has a wonderful taste, and is a great way to savor the last few days of fall!

Apple Cider Margarita Recipe:

• 1 ounce Grand Marnier
• 1 1/2 ounces gold tequila
• 5 ounces sweet apple cider
• orange or apple slices
• cinnamon, cane sugar and coarse white sugar for rimming the glass
• cinnamon sticks for garnish

Combine the Grand Marnier, tequila and apple cider in a shaker. Next, in a small bowl, prepare the rim mixture by combining the cinnamon and sugars together. Dip the rim of each glass in a bowl of water, then press the rims into the sugar mixture to cling. Carefully place ice into the glasses, and pour the combined beverage, from the shaker, into the glasses over the ice.  Garnish with an apple slice and/or cinnamon stick. Enjoy lakeside on Smith by a warm fire!
