Vampiros Y Sangrita Food

Tequila and sangrita are a traditional pairing in my Mexican cuisine, and this Vampiro Cocktail combines the flavors of the high-quality smoky Don Julio tequila blanco with sangrita (a combination of tomato juice, spices, and orange juice) and grapefruit juice. It is called "vampiro" (vampire) because "sangrita" in Spanish means blood, and the taste of the drink has an enjoyable bite with the sweet and spicy flavor profile.

Sangrita ('little blood') is the traditional Mexican chaser for tequila. It's a mix of FRESH orange and lime juices with salt and a spicy touch. You can give it the bloody appearance by adding a splash of pomegranate juice - or try using blood oranges when available (they really make it better).
