Just a slight note here...

If you have someone who isn't a real drinker at all, don't use tequila as it has quite an aroma warm. Use vodka instead.

Very nice for a cool fall evening! Easy to make and ingredients usually on hand. Thanks!

We were seeking the ideal hot drink for our fall cider pressing gatherings of family and friends; this recipe fit the bill perfectly. It seems to appeal to most everyone's taste(s). We altered the quantities slightly: 5 cups of cider to 1 cup of tequila. Any small fruit garnish works but is not necessary. A fine, snappy drink, especially with cider fresh from the press.
