sangrita

Although sometimes confused with sangría, this Spanish/Mexican drink is not the same at all. There are many variations, but sangrita is typically a blended mixture of tomatoes (or tomato juice), orange juice and lemon or lime juice, with a fiery element added through chiles, chile powder or tabasco sauce. Sangrita is served chilled, usually with a shot of tequila.
