A quick and easy fall cocktail that combines reposado tequila, fresh apple cider, and lime juice for a smooth, seasonal drink perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces reposado tequila
  • 4 ounces fresh apple cider
  • 0.5 ounces fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 ounces agave nectar (optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Cinnamon sugar for rimming
  • Cinnamon stick for garnish
  • Apple slice for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Run a lime wedge around the rim of margarita glasses and dip into cinnamon sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, apple cider, lime juice, and agave nectar.
  3. Add ice cubes to the shaker.
  4. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until cold.
  5. Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses.
  6. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and/or an apple slice.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Reposado tequila adds depth, but blanco works too. For a non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and add sparkling water. If making a batch for a party, mix tequila, cider, and agave in advance, but add lime juice and ice just before serving to prevent dilution.
