Apple Cider Tequila Smash

December 26, 2020 Cocktails

Looking for a warm, yet slightly spicy drink for those cold winter nights that’s NOT mulled wine? Do people even drink mulled wine?…No?…I guess I’ve just been reading too many Medieval era novels (ok, ok I’ve been watching too much TV).

Drink this hot or cold! to drink it hot, just warm in a pot over medium heat until nice n toasty. do not let it boil or you’ll cook off the alcohol
