NOTES
A fiery favorite from the heart of Mexico, Sangrita—literally “little blood”—is the bold, zesty sidekick your tequila never knew it needed. This vibrant chaser brings a lively rush of citrus, spice, and heat that turns a simple tequila shot into a full-blown ritual. The recipe yields enough for six proper chasers, perfect for sharing with friends and pairing with a smooth, high-quality tequila. For the best flavor, let your Sangrita chill overnight so the ingredients can mingle, and keep it refrigerated—it stays delicious for up to five days.
