Pitcher Apple Cider Margaritas
This is the pitcher I'll be making from the first crisp fall weekend straight through Thanksgiving. Fresh apple cider, tequila blanco, warming spices, and a splash of corn liqueur create a margarita that tastes like fall without feeling overly sweet. It's easy to prep ahead, serves a crowd, and is perfect for harvest dinners, football Saturdays, Friendsgiving, or any excuse to gather around a table.
