How to Make Mulled Margarita

  1. **Make the Mulled Cider:** In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups apple cider, 1/2 cup thinly sliced apples, 6 whole cloves, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. **Simmer the Spices:** Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the cider. Do not boil.
  3. **Prepare the Mulled Cider Margarita (Mug Version):** Ladle approximately 4 ounces of the warm mulled cider into a heat-safe mug. Add 1 ounce tequila and 1 ounce Grand Marnier. Stir gently.
  4. **Garnish and Enjoy (Mug Version):** Garnish with a cinnamon stick and enjoy immediately.
  5. **Prepare the Spiced Apple Margarita (Shaken Version):** In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of the *cooled* mulled cider (remove from saucepan and allow to cool slightly), 1 ounce tequila, and 1 ounce Grand Marnier. Fill the shaker with ice.
  6. **Shake and Strain:** Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  7. **Serve:** Strain into a chilled martini glass.
  8. **Garnish:** Garnish with a cinnamon stick and an apple slice.
