Notes
Here are a few notes for making this cocktail a success:
Adjust sweetness by altering the sugar levels.
For a non-alcoholic version, skip the tequila and enjoy the spiced cider on its own.
Don’t let the cider boil. Keeping it at a low simmer retains flavors.
For extra zest, consider adding a splash of lime juice just before serving.
