Sangrita
Makes 6 to 8 shots
Inspired by the San Angel Inn Restaurant
Sangrita, seasoned tomato juice, is the traditional chaser for tequila. In restaurants in Mexico if you order a tequila, it will often come with the shot of sangrita and lime wedges. Sangrita just slightly cuts the heat of tequila. Lime takes away all the burn. Sangrita, therefore, is a better companion for lingering. Pour yourself a silver tequila, or a resposado as they would do in Mexico, mix up a batch of this easy sangrita, and kick back for happy hour.
1 cup tomato juice
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 ½ teaspoons minced onion
2 ½ teaspoons minced jalapeno
3 tablespoons packed cilantro leaves
1/8 teaspoon salt
Add all ingredients to blender. Mix until well combined, about 30 seconds. Serve one shot of sangrita with one pour of tequila.
