If you love a classic margarita but want something a little cozier for fall, this spiced apple cider margarita is going to be your new favorite drink. It’s crisp, spiced, and has just the right balance of sweet and tart. Plus, it’s so easy to make with just 4 simple ingredients!

This margarita is made with tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and spiced apple cider. It comes together in minutes and doesn’t require any fancy equipment. Just pour everything into a shaker with ice, give it a good shake, and you’re ready to sip. The apple cider adds natural sweetness and warm spice that pairs perfectly with the tartness of the lime. One of my favorite spiced apple ciders is the one from Trader Joe’s. But, if you have a local cider maker, even better!

While alcohol is definitely not a health food, it can fit into a balanced lifestyle when enjoyed in moderation. This recipe keeps things simple and is lower in sugar than most cocktails, so you can enjoy the flavors of the season without overdoing it.

Serve this margarita over ice with a cinnamon stick and apple slice garnish to make it extra festive! Whether you’re hosting friends or just want a cozy night in, this spiced apple cider margarita is the perfect way to celebrate the fall season!
