Apple & Cinnamon Margarita Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ⅓ oz (40 ml) premium silver tequila

• 1 oz (30 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice

• ⅔ oz (20 ml) apple liqueur or apple brandy

• ⅔ oz (20 ml) fresh apple juice

• ⅓ oz (10 ml) simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

• Ice cubes

• Apple slices, for garnish

• Cinnamon stick, for garnish

• Cinnamon Powder (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prep Your Glassware: Begin by rimming your glass with cinnamon sugar for a touch of spice. Moisten the rim with a lime wedge, then gently dip it into cinnamon sugar spread on a shallow plate. Set the glass aside.

2. Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, apple liqueur or brandy, apple juice, and simple syrup if desired. Shake vigorously to mix the ingredients well and chill the concoction.

3. Prepare Your Serving Glass: Fill your rimmed glass with ice cubes to keep your drink refreshingly cold.

4. Strain and Serve: Pour the chilled Apple Margarita mixture through a strainer into your glass, over the ice. This will help catching unwanted solids if using cloudy apple juice or fresh puree.

5. Garnish with Freshness: Decorate your drink with a few apple slices and a cinnamon stick. These garnishes are not only visually appealing but also enhance the overall flavor profile of the cocktail.

6. Sip and Enjoy: Raise your glass and enjoy the crisp, refreshing flavors of your Apple Margarita!

#Pro Tips from Baza

** Select Quality Ingredients ** Use high-quality silver tequila as the base for the best taste.

** Fresh Juice for the Best Flavor ** Opt for freshly squeezed apple juice if possible; it makes a difference in bringing out a bright, fresh apple flavor.

** Customize Sweetness ** Adjust the amount of simple syrup based on the sweetness of your apple juice and personal preference.

** Chill the Glass ** To keep your cocktail cold longer, chill the glass before preparing the drink.

** Experiment with Garnishes ** Besides cinnamon sticks, consider a pinch of ground cinnamon or a star anise for a more aromatic experience, or rimming the glass with a mixture of ground cinnamon and sugar.

** Double Strain to Remove Pulp ** If you prefer a smoother drink, double strain the mixture when pouring into your glass to remove any apple pulp or ice shards.
