Add 1 ounce Grand Marnier, 2 ounces reposado tequila, and 8 ounces apple cider to a mixing glass filled 1/3 full with crushed ice. The difference between apple cider and apple juice is confusing. Don't worry... it's not you. For example, companies like Martinelli's use the terms solely for marketing. On their website, they even admit that their "apple juice and cider are the same; the only difference is the label." Plus, there's just no legal standard. However, some states do have standards. Think of it this way, fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not been filtered and sometimes not even pasteurized. Apple juice is clear and always pasteurized. Oh, but outside the United States, cider usually refers to a fermented, alcoholic beverage, what we call hard cider.

Add in 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of clove, a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg, and a pinch of freshly grated ginger. Cover and shake the hell out of it 10 seconds.

Strain over ice in a sugar and cinnamon rimmed glass with a cinnamon stick and a dash of clove as garnish.
