cranberry apple margarita
Festive, bubbly, and bright, unlike my disposition at the end of this particular week.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 2 oz tequila
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz apple cider
- 1 tbsp apple butter
- 1/2 oz agave, or to taste
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- ginger beer, to top
- apple slices and fresh cranberries, to serve.
Instructions
- On a small, shallow dish, toss the sugar with the ginger. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass. Dip and swirl the rim into the sugar. Shake of excess.
- In a shaker, combine the tequila, cranberry juice, apple cider, apple butter, agave, and lime juice. Add ice and shake until cold. Pour into the cocktail glass, adding more ice as needed. Top with a few splashes of ginger beer. Top with apple slices and fresh cranberries, as desired.
