Chimayó cocktail from Southwest Tastes: From the Television Series Great Chefs of the West by Ellen Brown

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    What a delightful cocktail. Best made with fresh apple cider.

    Every recipe I have for the Chimayo Cocktail seems to be different in ratios of ingredients and the ingredients themselves (Mark Miller's and Steven Raichlen's version uses lime juice, this one and the one in Tasting New Mexico use lemon, while the Cooking Light version uses sparkling water and sparkling apple juice). I think I am going to have to conduct some research into my preferred version! Regardless, there is one key trick that all these recipes leave out (and if I remember correctly from eating at Rancho de Chimayo a handful of times), is to coat the rim of the glass in cinnamon sugar--really makes the drink!
