Sangrita ('little blood') is the traditional Mexican chaser for tequila. It's a mix of FRESH orange and lime juices with salt and a spicy touch. You can give it the bloody appearance by adding a splash of pomegranate juice - or try using blood oranges when available (they really make it better). Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1 paper-thin onion slice |
1 cup fresh orange juice |
1 dash mexican-style hot sauce (such as valentina® or cholula®), or to taste |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine the lime juice and onion slice in a bowl, making sure the onion is completely covered with the juice. Allow to soak 2 to 3 hours; remove the onion and discard.
2. Stir the orange juice, hot sauce, and salt into the lime juice; chill the sangrita before serving.
