Fall Margarita

2. Fill the glass with ice to chill it while you prepare the cocktail.
3. In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, freshly squeezed lime juice, apple cider, and maple syrup.
4. Add ice to the shaker and then shake vigorously until well chilled.
5. Strain the margarita mixture into your prepared, ice-filled glass.
6. If desired, garnish your Fall Margarita with a slice of apple and a cinnamon stick.
