As you start planning your Thanksgiving -the turkey, desserts, cranberry sauce, and gravy it’s easy to forget about a Thanksgiving cocktail.

Thanksgiving is all about the comida, pero I am here to remind you that a beautiful signature cocktail is always a holiday must-have.

Today I want to share a simply stunning cocktail that is so easy to make but is all wow.

My kiwi orange margarita is vibrant, warm and makes an impression.

The base of my kiwi orange margarita begins with kiwi infused tequila. Combined with orange juice, lemon juice and cinnamon. A cinnamon sugar rim and kiwi star in the center of the glass takes this cocktail to the next level.

I sliced my kiwi into stars before adding to a canning jar with tequila to infuse, but you can slice kiwi into any desired shape.  For this cocktail I used a gold kiwi, but you can use a green kiwi as well.

WHAT IS A GOLD KIWI?

A gold kiwi has smooth, gold brown hairless skin with golden yellow vibrant flesh color. Gold kiwi has a tropical taste, with the taste of a cross between a mango and strawberry.
