Instructions

  • If you’d like a sugared rim, stir 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon together on a small, flat plate; spread into an even layer. Run 1 piece over the rim of an old-fashioned or margarita glass to moisten. Invert the glass into the cinnamon sugar, turning it as needed, to coat the rim.
  • Fill the glass with ice.
  • Place 2 ounces reposado tequila, 2 ounces apple cider, 1 ounce cranberry juice cocktail, and ½ ounce lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is very cold and frosty, about 20 seconds.
