Tequila Cider Smash Cocktail

Toast the season with this  autumn-inspired Tequila Cider Smash cocktail.  Silver tequila, apple cider and fresh sage are muddled into the perfect sip for the holidays!

 

Disclaimer:  I created this cocktail in conjunction with my must make Tequila Glazed Butternut Squash.  I was not compensated for this post but Hornitos is a brand that I fully adore and am happy to share this cocktail with you.  This post may contain affiliate links to products I trust and adore in my kitchen.  Thank you for supporting Cooking In Stilettos

Looking for a no stress cocktail this holiday season?  I have the perfect sip for you – my autumn inspired Tequila Cider Smash.

I am all about the no stress holiday and if there is a cocktail that takes minutes to make but delivers a punch of flavor, this is it.  As I hinted to y’all earlier, I have a number of tequila dishes that I will be serving this Thanksgiving, and, of course, the signature cocktail has to have a tequila twist.

Throughout the fall I love having apple cider on hand.  If time allows, I might make my own homemade apple cider, but if not, a good quality store bought cider is fine.  (Sorry – had a bit of a Barefoot Contessa moment there).  With Thanksgiving, I always buy a couple packages of sage for various recipes but there always seems to be some left over.  Why not smash them into a delicious autumn inspired drink right?  If you want to go without tequila for a bit of a cider smash, then by all means, please do.

Channel your inner mixologist and have at it.  This Tequila Cider Smash is the perfect signature cocktail for the holiday!

I wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you enjoy your holiday with family and friends.  Thank you so much for visiting Cooking In Stilettos.  You all have been such a blessing over the years and I am so so grateful.  Happy Thanksgiving!
