CINNAGARITA COCKTAIL

A new twist on the classic Margarita. We call it a Cinnagarita. It is fantastic! Made with Ceylon Cinnamon syrup and powder. The Tequila is in there. A dash of Orange liqueur works very well with Cinnamon. And of course some Cinnamon syrup. The Ceylon Cinnamon cuts the sugar high, so you can enjoy your sugar craving with less guilt.

You should make the Cinnamon syrup at home. It is so easy to make. Click here for recipe.

PART 1

1. Mix sugar and Ceylon Cinnamon powder on a flat plate
2. Get a cocktail glass and coat the edge of the glass with a slice of lime
3. Dip the glass in the sugar and cinnamon mixture turning the glass in the cinnamon sugar

PART 2

1. Fill half the cocktail shaker with crushed ice
   (We also used a blender which we think adds smaller crushed ice

3. Shake vigorously for about a minute until the shaker becomes very cold and pour into cinnamon sugar coated cocktail glass
   
4. Garnish the edge of the glass with a lime wedge and serve

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

If you wish to have more of the ice and make it really cold you can also blend it in electric blender and pour the entire thing into a larger glass.
