Use your jigger to measure 4 oz of apple cider and pour it into your glass.Pro tip: apple cider has a light flavor, so this 2:1 ratio leaves a pretty strong tequila flavor. If you want it to be a little lighter on the tequila you can either use a bit more apple cider or 1.5 oz of tequila. Use a bar spoon and stir your drink together well.
If you want to add an optional garnish, add a cinnamon stick to your glass.
