Preparation[edit | edit source]
The Chimayó Cocktail is prepared by mixing one and a half ounces of tequila, one ounce of apple juice, a quarter ounce of lemon juice, and a quarter ounce of crème de cassis. The ingredients are shaken together with ice and then strained into a glass. The cocktail is typically garnished with a slice of apple or a lemon twist.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Chimayó Cocktail is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the Chimayó region. The use of apple juice in the cocktail is a nod to the apple orchards that are prevalent in the area.
