As soon as the crisp fall air hits, I start craving a seasonal twist on classic drinks. There’s something about autumn flavors—think cinnamon, apple, and maple—that make me want to cozy up with a cocktail that feels like fall in a glass.

That’s where my Fall Margarita Recipe comes in. It’s the perfect blend of tequila, fresh citrus, and warm spices, all with a hint of sweetness. Whether you’re hosting friends for a fall gathering or just winding down after a long day, this margarita will quickly become your go-to autumn drink.

Perfect Pairings for a Fall Margarita

A great cocktail deserves a perfect pairing. For me, the rich flavors of this Fall Margarita go incredibly well with savory fall appetizers. Try it with warm brie topped with honey and walnuts, or a charcuterie board with sharp cheddar, smoked meats, and roasted nuts. These bites bring out the warmth of the cinnamon and the sweetness of the apple cider in the margarita, creating a delicious balance.

Tips for Making the Best Margarita

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lime juice is a game-changer in any margarita. It gives the cocktail a crisp, refreshing tartness that you just can’t get from bottled juice. The same goes for apple cider—make sure it’s fresh-pressed if possible.
  • Don’t Skip the Garnish: Adding an apple slice and a cinnamon stick may seem like a small detail, but it makes the presentation much more festive. Plus, it adds a little extra flavor and visual appeal to your drink, making it feel like something special.

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger (for measuring)
  • Rocks glass or margarita glass
  • Citrus juicer (optional, but helpful)
  • Small plate (for cinnamon sugar rim)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz tequila preferably reposado
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz apple cider
  • 1/2 oz maple syrup
  • 1/2 oz triple sec or any orange liqueur
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Ice
  • Apple slices for garnish
  • Cinnamon stick optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your glass: Start by rimming the glass with cinnamon sugar. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it into a mix of cinnamon and sugar.
  • Mix the drink: In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, lime juice, apple cider, maple syrup, triple sec, and ground cinnamon. Fill the shaker with ice.
  • Shake it up: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to get it nicely chilled and blended.
  • Strain and serve: Strain the margarita into your prepared glass over fresh ice. If you like your margaritas straight up, you can skip the ice in the glass.
  • Garnish: Add a slice of apple to the rim of the glass and, if you’re feeling fancy, a cinnamon stick for extra flair.
