Jalisco street drink

Glass Highball

Method Shaken

Garnish lime wheel and salt rim (optional)

Mexican canonical from Jalisco — blanco tequila shaken with sangrita's components into a single drink. Tomato, orange, and lime stake out the core; grenadine sweetens; tabasco and chili bring the bite that gave the drink its name ('sangrita' = little blood).

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz Tequila
2 oz Tomato Juice
1 1/2 oz Fresh Orange Juice
1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 oz Grenadine
3 dashes Hot Sauce
2 slices Fresh Chili

Method

Combine tequila, tomato juice, orange juice, lime juice, grenadine, tabasco, and a few slices of fresh chili in a shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into an ice-filled highball. Rim the glass with salt if desired. Garnish with a lime wheel.
