    With only 3 ingredients this Cinnamon Tequila Sour will be your new favorite drink! A perfect cocktail for fall and winter.

    Easy tequila cocktails are the name of the game. My tequila gimlet is one such drink, in addition to the agave nectar-sweetened citrus margarita. And well, I just can't get enough.

    Like the whiskey sour, this cinnamon cocktail has just the right balance. Not too sweet, not too sour, and warmed just right with cinnamon flavor. Fall cocktails like this one transition into winter cocktails beautifully.
