Servings
Ingredients
- 4 oz. tequila (blanco or reposado)
- 1.5 oz. Grand Marnier
- 2 oz.
apple butter - 1/2 oz. maple syrup
- 1.5 oz. fresh lime juice
Rim & Garnish
- Caramel
- Cinnamon-salt
- Apple slices (optional)
Instructions
- Add a little caramel to a shallow plate and cinnamon-salt to a second plate. Dip or drizzle the rims of two rocks glasses in the caramel, then gently dip into the cinnamon-salt mixture.
- Add tequila, Grand Marnier, apple butter, maple syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt to a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake really well until chilled and the apple butter is fully incorporated.
- Double strain into the prepared glasses over fresh ice.
- Garnish with a thin apple slice, if desired.
Quick cinnamon-salt: Mix about 1 tbsp flaky or kosher salt + ½ tsp ground cinnamon. You could add a tiny pinch of sugar too, but with the caramel rim I don't think you need it. Alternatively, skip the caramel and just rim the glasses with lime juice and cinnamon salt for less sweetness.
