Cranberry Margarita With Apple Cinnamon Tequila Food

CRANBERRY MARGARITA

Steps:

• Using a fine, clean paintbrush, paint a thin layer of honey around the rim of 4 margarita or martini glasses. In a saucer, combine the orange zest, salt and sugar, then turn the glasses upside down and dip them into the mixture. Put the glasses in the fridge to chill.
• In a cocktail shaker, combine the orange juice, tequila, lime juice, cranberry juice, triple sec and ice, and shake to combine. When the outside of the shaker feels cold, strain the mixture into your prepared glasses and serve.

CRANBERRY MARGARITA WITH APPLE-CINNAMON TEQUILA RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Wash the apples and cut them into wedges that will fit into your infusion jar.
• Place the sliced apples and cinnamon sticks into the jar, then fill it up with tequila.
• Tighten the lid and give it a good shake. Store in a cool, dark place for five to seven days, shaking it daily to mix up the ingredients. After the fifth day, give your tequila a taste test. If you think you'd like a little more flavor, allow the infusion to continue, checking it daily until it reaches your ideal taste. There may be a point where you want to remove the cinnamon and allow the apples to continue infusing to accentuate that flavor.
• Once the flavor is to your liking, strain out the apples and cinnamon sticks.
• Pour the tequila into a bottle or jar, seal, and use in the cranberry margarita or other cocktails. Store as you would any other liquor.
