Star anise and cinnamon stick, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of cinnamon and sugar.
Single drink: Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Shake until cold. Strain the margarita into the glass with the sugar rim. Fill the glass with ice and serve.
Pitcher (8 servings): Place 1 ½ cups tequila, 2 cups apple cider, 3/4 cup Triple Sec or Cointreau, and 3/4 cup lime juice in a pitcher. Add 3 handfuls ice and stir until cold. Prepare the glasses separately, then add 2/3 cup to each glass and garnish with ice.
