It tastes like a wet cinnamon bun

A really lovely winter riff on the margarita. Yum. On the comments from people saying "I used apple cider" - I'm guessing these folk are in North America, where "apple cider" refers to pressed apple juice, i.e. what's called for in the recipe. Here in the UK, "apple cider" is an alcoholic drink with some carbonation, or what North Americans call "hard cider". That would change the cocktail completely, though I'm sure it would be interesting!

I’m going to use apple cider for this drink. Thanks to Miguel for mentioning that it works well with cider!

The ingredients work really well together. A surprise hit, but a welcome one.

This a good fall flavor “Margarita”. Used apple cider instead of juice. Nice tart flavor. I may consider adding some Allspice dram next time.

This is very interesting. Had it with a Mexican themed luncheon at the holidays, and it went perfect. As it is a rift on a margarita, it went with the food. The apple juice and cinnamon was a perfect addition for the holiday lunch.
