Sangrita

Sangrita is the proper accompaniment to straight shots of tequila. Serve it alongside tequila and match, sip for sip. Grenadine, a sweet, red, pomegranate-flavored syrup, adds color and sweetness to this potent chaser.

Makes 18 shots

2 1/4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
5 tablespoons grenadine syrup
1 generous teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process or whisk in a bowl until blended. Refrigerate. Serve cold in shot glasses with corresponding shots of tequila.

Tip: Slamming back shots of tequila is definitely not the way to go. Try slowly sipping tequila with sangrita to really appreciate how delicious tequila can be.
