A Green Apple Margarita offers a delightful twist on the classic Margarita, introducing a tart and fruity flavor that’s perfect for those who enjoy a sweet yet slightly sour cocktail. Here’s a simple recipe to craft one:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Tequila (silver or blanco is preferred for its clean taste)
• 1 oz Green Apple Liqueur (such as Sour Apple Schnapps)
• 1/2 oz Lime Juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
• 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
• Green Apple slices (for garnish)
• Salt or sugar for rimming the glass (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glass:

• If you like a salted or sugared rim, run a lime wedge around the edge of your glass (a Margarita or coupe glass works well) and dip it into a plate of salt or sugar to coat.

1. Mix the Cocktail:

• In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, green apple liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

1. Shake:

• Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds or until the outside of the shaker feels cold.

1. Strain and Serve:

• Strain the mixture into your prepared glass. If desired, you can fill the glass with fresh ice before straining the cocktail into it.

1. Garnish:

• Garnish with a slice of green apple or a lime wheel for an extra touch of elegance.

Enjoy your Green Apple Margarita, a refreshing and tangy cocktail that’s perfect for a sunny day or a festive gathering!
