My signature Caramel Apple Cider Margarita is a cold fall drink that will warm you up! The cinnamon sugar and apple cider flavors will make you feel like you are having Thanksgiving dinner with your family. I also love making this as a mocktail for my sons, just omit the tequila. Living next to so many great farmer’s markets, I love to shop for fresh seasonal produce and find ways bring their flavors to life in my holiday meals that are new and exciting. This one is a fun twist on having traditional apple cider.
