Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup honey (or agave for vegan option)
  • 1 whole star anise
  • 2 oz Tequila
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 1 1/2 - 2 oz unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon star anise simple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (coconut sugar or preferred)

Instructions

  1. Combine water, honey (or agave), and star anise in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the honey dissolves and the mixture turns syrup-like.
  2. Mix cinnamon and sugar on a small plate. Use a lemon slice to wet the glass rims, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, triple sec, apple juice, lemon juice, and star anise syrup. Shake well to mix.
  4. Pour into prepared glasses, add apple slices for garnish, and enjoy!
