Author Notes
Hailing from the Jalisco region of Mexico, sangrita is the longtime, traditional companion to a shot of tequila blanco. It’s important to note that you don’t take a shot of tequila all at once and then chase it with an entire shot of sangrita; the two should be sipped alternately so they mingle with one another’s citrusy and peppery flavors. You can also easily scale this recipe up to accommodate larger gatherings. —Samantha Weiss Hills
