It doesn’t take much for us to enjoy a good Sunday Brunch. But nothing beats a fantastic Sunday Brunch experience than creating your own fall brunch cocktails with a great, ultra-premium spirit. That was our recent experience with Casamigos Tequila as we celebrated the fall season by creating three delicious cocktails at the new Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Jersey City.
Armed with all the mixology tools and ingredients we needed, we were all set to create three vastly different Casamigos Tequila fall brunch cocktails. We started with the quintessential fall flavors of apple cider and cinnamon for the Casa Cider; continued with a smoky margarita with Casamigos’s new Mezcal, and finished off with a not-so-classic Old Fashioned.
We loved the fall brunch cocktails and know you will too, so we’re sharing the three drink recipes we created, so you can enjoy them for yourself at home. Check them out below:

2 oz. Casamigos Reposado Tequila
1 1/2 oz. Apple Cider
1 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
