Next to a Margarita, the tequila is the only shared part — cider does the work here, with cassis standing where the orange liqueur would be. Use unfiltered cider; the clear stuff goes thin and leaves the cassis nothing to hold onto. It makes two, in theory.

Steve’s notes

Source jokes that splitting the shaker contents evenly between two glasses 'SHOULD' happen ('HAHAHA!! Yeah, right').
