This month, as the sun crosses the celestial equator heading south, we welcome the autumnal equinox. While it might be too early to snuggle up by roaring bonfires, there’s no reason why we can’t celebrate the flavors of the season. Apples, in particular, have long been a symbol of the fall harvest, and drinking apple cider (the unpasteurized, unfiltered juice made from apple mash) is a festive way to reap the fruit’s health benefits. Usher in fall with this recipe for a crisp apple cider margarita.
