Brown Sugar Apple Margarita

We have officially entered my favorite time of the entire year: Thanksgiving week.

For as long as I can remember, Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday. The weather is usually perfect – on the tail end of fall before the depressing, cold days of winter. If we’re lucky, some pretty leaves are still hanging on. Football is happening. Sweaters, boots, tights and scarves rule my wardrobe again.

Plus, it means a few days off from work, long days with family, way too much good food, and crazy shopping. A.k.a, the best week ever.

And I’m here to tell you that you can make this week even better with just 4 words: brown sugar apple margaritas.

Still looking for something to serve with your holiday meal? Done.

Want something to wind down this week after long hours in the kitchen? Here you go.

Need something to get through hours with your crazy family? That’s normal, I think.

Mix up a pitcher of these, and you’ll be the hit of this year’s get together.
