Sangrita

Beth Lee
Sangrita is the perfect complement to tequila! Make some to celebrate Cinco de Mayo or substitute it for a bloody mary for Sunday brunch. It's delicious without the alcohol too!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup tomato juice any brand you prefer
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice store-bought could work
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ serrano pepper rough chopped (I left the seeds in)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (I like Tobasco brand)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2-3 splashes Worcestershire sauce to taste
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Add first 5 ingredients to blender and liquefy for a few seconds.
  • Taste to check the heat level and flavor profile.
  • Then add the hot sauce, black pepper and worcestershire sauce.
  • Taste again and add a dash of salt if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh citrus if you can, especially the lemon and lime juice.
  • Have fun with the recipe - change up the tomato base, peppers, hot sauces and make it your own, though I think my recipe is pretty darn good!
  • Taste it with some tequila to really judge how it "completes" the tequila you are drinking. After all, that is the whole point!
