Sangrita Recipes

Ingredients :

1lb tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped

1/2 cup orange juice

4 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 tsp granulated sugar

6 small fresh green chilies, seeded and chopped

salt

2 oz aged tequila (Tequila Anejo) per person

Put the chopped tomatoes, orange juice, lime juice, chopped onion, granulated sugar and chopped green chilies into a food processor. Process the tomato mixture until very smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary. Pour the tomato mixture into a jug and chill well. To serve, pour into small glasses, allowing about 90ml / 6 tbsp per portion. Pour the tequila into separate small glasses. Slip the tomato juice and tequila alternately.

Serves 8

Plain white tequila is not suitable for this. Choose one of the amber aged tequilas (Anejos), which are smoother and more gentle on the palate.
