If you’re like me, you love margaritas, they are such a fun and versatile drink. Using a sour apple liqueur gives the traditional margarita the essence of a poison apple.
It’s super fun and wicked good!

How to Make this Enchanting Poison Apple Margarita
Margaritas are easy and fun to make. Simply combine tequila with liqueur (in this case, sour apple schnapps) plus fresh-squeezed lime juice and sweetener. I use agave syrup, but if you like to use simple syrup feel free to do so.
It's even more fun to “decorate” the margarita. I used black salt to rim the glass to give it a suitably creepy look.
And of course, edible glitter.

The glitter deepens the color of the margarita to a very strong green, plus adds a little magical sparkle to the cocktail. It makes it look a little bit mysterious and a whole lot of fun!
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cocktail at your next Halloween gathering! The sparkling glitter will mesmerize your guests as they gaze into the glass!
Recipe FAQs
Of course not! Without the glitter your cocktail will have a very pale greenish hue from the sour apple schnapps. Which is perfectly acceptable. The glitter makes the deep green color and, of course, the sparkles. 😁
Certainly! While I’ve never tried it, I think a little cinnamon flavor would be a great match with the sour apple. Yum!
More Halloween Fun
Get your party started with a Devil's Margarita and a creepy Skull Cheese Ball.
Provide some snack mix for your guests to nibble all night long.
The ones with a sweet tooth will appreciate a few bat sugar cookies or vampire kiss cookies.
And if you end up with leftover candy, plan on making a Snickers Pie with those candy bars!

This is so much fun!!!
But you sent me off down a rabbit warren 😂 I have never used edible glitter so I went onto google...an hour later I was on a baking website with a cart full of things 😂😂😂 DOH!
Anyway I cannot wait to give this a go, I think your idea for cinnamon tequilla sounds sooo yummy with the apple
Sula
LOL I know that rabbit hole all too well!

I can definitely see this with our next Halloween party, it looks so fun. Now I'm not the biggest fan of sour apple, so I defiantly will try the cinnamon flavoured liquor. That sounds yummy.
Sula
Keep in mind that you can control the sour with the agave syrup. Nut cinnamon is a lovely flavor to add as well. Enjoy! 🙂
