There's fat chance that you'll find yourself north of Santa Fé in New Mexico this month (unless of course, you are reading this from your Santa Fé home, in which case - Hola!).

Despite the current cancellation of seemingly EVERYTHING, you can still whip up this firecracker of a cocktail, perfect for a winter's evening (or afternoon, hey - maybe even a morning, if that's how you roll...).

Originating from New Mexico, the Chimayó is believed to have been created by Arturo Jaramillo, owner of the Rancho de Chimayó restaurant in Chimayó, New Mexico in 1965, as a way of using up excess apples.

Well, fortunately for us, apples - or more importantly - cider, is in abundance round here, and as the recipe calls for Cassis, we teamed up with our bezzies at White Heron and Pulp Cider to bring you, good people of the World, the Herefordshire Chimayó; enjoy!
