Oh hello fall! We love to launch each season with a seasonal cocktail and apps series. This flavor combo might not seem typical, but it is delicious! If you love fall, tequila, and apple season like us, you have to try it! Make sure to use reposado tequila; it gives it that smokey vanilla flavor while making this cocktail anything but sweet. And don’t skip the rim! It’s the perfect salty-sweet combo.

2 oz reposado tequila
1/2 oz Cointreau
2 oz unfiltered apple cider
1/2 oz lime juice

For rim:
1 Tablespoon raw sugar
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Maple syrup for rimming the glass

Apple slices for garnish

Dip the glass in maple syrup, then the sugar, salt, cinnamon mixture. Combine all drink ingredients in a shaker filled with ice. Strain into an ice-filled glass and garnish with apple slices.
