Classic: Chimayó Cocktail

Rooted in the orchards of Chimayo, New Mexico, this cocktail blends crisp apple cider with smooth tequila and a hint of black currant. Created at the restaurant Rancho de Chimayó in the 1960s, it captures the unique agricultural bounty of northern New Mexico in a light, slightly earthy drink with rich local ties. For a refreshing variation, top the cocktail with ginger beer.
