The Midnight Kick

Ingredients:

• 2 oz.  Cabo Anejo Tequlla
• Orange Slice
• Cinnamon

Directions:

Wet the rim of a chilled shot glass with the orange slice. Then rim the shot glass with powdered cinnamon on a plate. Be careful not to turn the glass right side up until it has been rimmed. The orange liquid will drip otherwise. Shake the Cabo Tequila with ice in a shaker and strain into the chilled shot glass. Slam the shot and then bite into the orange slice to finish.
