A warming cocktail recipe, Winter Tequila Cocktail!

THIS! A warming Winter Tequila Cocktail with a hint of sweetened cinnamon and a kick of bourbon needs to be enjoyed now. It will most definitely keep you cozy.

This cocktail is intentionally honest and meant to be sophisticated. It’s made with tequila, a stunning addition if I might add (try to find hand-crafted small-batch tequilas for the best flavor), a bit of your favorite bourbon, a hit of a warming winter mulled simple syrup, and elevated with the zest of orange.
