Cool tropical beaches, crisp afternoon breezes, golden rays of sun warming our skins, and ice cold margaritas-is it summer yet? Sadly it’s not, but fortunately, you don’t have to hibernate for several months just to taste one of our favorite seasonal treats. No matter how sizzling hot or bone chilling cold it gets, Margaritas will also be in style. Best of all, there’s one special elixir you can be savoring right this second, all while cuddling with a new flame or mingling with friends by a roaring fire. The Warm Winter Margarita is similar to an American Hot Toddy, except it features smooth tequila and it incorporates brisk apple juice for a burst of mouthwatering flavor. With the addition of some sweet spices, the Warm Winter Margarita is perfect for relaxing during a blizzard. Still miss the hotter months to come? After one sip of the Warm Winter Margarita, you’ll be humming, “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!”
