Cinnamon Orange Margarita
Happy National Margarita Day! I’ve teamed up with a few fellow tequila lovers to provide you with plenty of inspiration to help you celebrate this fun day in style.
Inspired by the cinnamon oranges I keep in my fridge to enjoy with my French toast or in my oatmeal I decided to create this citrus margarita laced with a hint of warmth from cinnamon. I added a splash of tequila, ice and a few sprinkles of ground cinnamon and salt y listo! Salud!
