Apple Cider Is The Base Of Ree Drummond's Fall Twist On A Classic Cocktail

Three more tasty fall-inspired tequila drinks

While summer cocktails typically feature citrus and tropical fruits, autumn-inspired drinks embrace seasonal flavors such as apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and pumpkin. Fall margaritas often blend both summer and autumn elements into a refreshing beverage that's ideal for sweater weather. You know summer is winding down when pumpkin spice products start appearing everywhere, from Oreos and lattes to Cheerios and dog treats. Pumpkin spice is the perfect seasonal ingredient to give your margarita a fall twist. Whip up a delicious pumpkin spice margarita using tequila, brown sugar, Cointreau, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin purée, lime juice, and bitters. Enhance your cocktail with a simple rim made of pumpkin pie spice and sugar.

However, autumn-inspired cocktails aren't just about pumpkin and apple cider flavors. Get creative and craft a Thanksgiving-themed margarita with cranberry juice, lime juice, tequila, and cinnamon simple syrup. Garnish it with a cinnamon stick and a cinnamon sugar rim for added sweetness.

For a tequila drink that's as visually appealing as it is delicious, consider a cinnamon hibiscus margarita. Combine pre-made hibiscus simple syrup, like 1883 Hibiscus Syrup, with tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar for a vibrant red-purple margarita that boasts a fruity and subtly floral taste. Alternatively, you can add a personal touch by making your own hibiscus syrup from scratch by boiling dried hibiscus flowers, sugar, and water. Finish it off with a cinnamon sugar rim and cinnamon sticks for an extra special touch.
