Sangrita

Last week, one of our Connecticut liquor distributors offered a special on Herradura Tequila Blanco, a premium tequila made from 100% agave.  I purchased a case.
In order to showcase the tequila in an authentic presentation, we decided to pair it with Sangrita.  Sangrita is a sweet and spicy chaser that is served in a glass with a salted rim.  The Sangrita was placed on a plate next to the shot of Herradura Tequila Blanco with a wedge of lime on the side.

This recipe calls for enough Sangrita to serve a party of 10 alongside a 750-mil bottle of tequila.  Or you can keep the Sangrita in the refrigerator and enjoy the drink for several days.
