apple cider tequila cocktail

So I know last week I made a cocktail that I said was like fall in a glass, but this cocktail could be named indian summer in a glass.  Because right now in my neck of the woods it is indian summer in November.  And it is gorgeous out.  I’m talking like 75 degrees outside gorgeous.  Like why can’t I live somewhere that this is just normal fall weather in November? This cocktail I made us today is cool and refreshing while being all “fall” like with it’s apple slices and apple cider.  This cocktail came from a cookbook called “The Rancho de Chimayo Cookbook.”  It’s a restaurant in New Mexico and there was an article in my local newspaper about it with a recipe for this cocktail and I cut it out and saved it and then found it recently when I was unpacking and I thought oh I never did try this and it sounds good and it has tequila in it which is my favorite.  So here it is.

2 oz gold tequila
