Apple Cider Margarita | Milwaukee North Shore Moms

Leigh Hansen & Alston Calabrese of Habitual Hostess

 

It’s Fall, y’all! If you’re missing those refreshing margaritas on a hottish summer day, you’ll love this tasty cocktail from Alston and Leigh, the talented duo behind Habitual Hostess. Start with a high-quality apple cider you can grab when you’re apple-picking. “The better ingredients you use, the better your food and drink will taste—especially for cocktails!” says Alston. And if you’re having a larger event, this recipe can easily be multiplied and made in batches. “We even set up a rimming station next to our pitcher.  Put some honey on one shallow plate and the cinnamon/sugar/salt mixture on another.  Self-serve and everyone is happy!” says Leigh.
