Spicy Apple Cider Margarita
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 1/2 ounces apple cider
- 3/4 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 ounce Agave in the Raw
- 2 pinches ground cinnamon, divided
- 2 pinches cayenne pepper, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt or cocktail salt (optional)
- If you'd like a salt rim, combine the salt with one pinch each cayenne and cinnamon and pinch together with your fingers until it's a uniform color. Dump it out on a plate, and prepare an (empty) rocks glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge. Dip the wet glass rim in the salt mixture and rub it around until the rim is coated.
- Fill your glass with ice.
- Combine the tequila, apple cider, lime juice, agave nectar, and a pinch each cinnamon and cayenne in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds and double strain (pour though a mesh strainer) into your ice-filled glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a strip of orange zest, if you like.
