Here’s a great twist on the traditional margarita. Sour apple schnapps and apple juice join forces with tequila and sweet and sour mix in a martini glass that’s rimmed with cinnamon sugar Hey, it’s like drinking apple pie! This
recipe makes one drink, but it’s easy to double up. That’s a good thing, since it seems like one is never enough.
