This Halloween Margarita is bright, citrusy, and just spooky enough for October! Fresh orange juice, cranberry juice, tequila, lime, and Cointreau create a colorful sweet and tart cocktail finished with a dramatic black sugar rim and fresh orange slice.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the tequila, fresh orange juice, cranberry juice, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
Shake vigorously for about 20 to 30 seconds, or until the cocktail shaker feels very cold.
Run an orange slice around the rim of your cocktail glass, then dip the rim into black sugar. Fill the prepared glass with ice.
Strain the margarita into the prepared glass, garnish with a fresh orange slice, Halloween Cocktail Pick and enjoy!
Notes
This Halloween Margarita is best enjoyed freshly shaken, but the mixed cocktail can be stored without ice in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake or stir it well before serving, then prepare the black sugar rim and add the orange slice just before serving.
