Sangrita Chaser For Tequila, Made Cheaply And Fast

This is a quick, easy way to do this. There's a better recipe, made via blender, with fresh ingredients. I will have that one for you all shortly.

Ingredients:

6 oz. orange juice, well-chilled.
6 oz. Snap-E-Tom tomato juice cocktail, well-chilled. Spicy Hot V-8 will do as a substitute. Snap-E-Tom, a Del Monte product, is hard to find.
Juice of one lime, or about that from a bottle of RealLime.
Mexican hot sauce, such as Cholula, to taste. A Sangrita is supposed to be "muy caliente."

Stir well, and make sure it's well-chilled in a tall glass.

Serve with shots of tequila and lime wedges. The chaser should be salty enough, but if your blood pressure is low, salt is optional.

Take a small gulp of tequila, (The Gulp of Mexico) and chase it with a larger gulp of the Sangrita. Repeat process, to taste.

If you want more tequila after you finish this -- well, I've never been to rehab ...

By the way, in case you care, this is a pretty traditional way that the good people of Mexico savor their tequila.
