Preparation
  1. Start by creating a cinnamon-sugar mixture on a small plate by combining equal parts coarse sugar and granulated sugar with ground cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well.
  2. Dip the rim of your glass into pomegranate juice until lightly coated, then dip it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
  3. Fill the rimmed glass with ice cubes tightly to keep your cocktail chilled.
  4. In a cocktail shaker, combine pumpkin butter, apple cider, tequila, and orange liqueur. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  6. Top with ginger beer based on your preference for fizziness.
