A lime margarita, on the rocks, in a salt rimmed glass is a thing of summer beauty.  However, once the weather drops below 60 degrees, can you still order this drink?  Good question.  Yes, but for some reason it wouldn’t taste the same as when you are lounging by an outdoor pool with friends.

However, what if someone took that classic drink and made a few seasonal adjustments.  What if that individual was such a master mixologist they incorporated fresh apple cider, cinnamon infused tequila and rimmed the glass with a cinnamon and sugar combo?   Well, that person does exist and they did make a delicious Fall themed margarita.
