Vampiro
Prep time:
Tequila with grapefruit and sangrita, rimmed with chilli salt. Dark red, salty and spicy: the Paloma with an edge, and one of the most Mexican drinks there is.
Ingredients
- 50 ml blanco tequila
- 30 ml sangrita
- 100 ml grapefruit soda
- 15 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
- Chilli salt for the rim
- Ice cubes
Preparation
- Rim the glass: run a lime wedge around it and press it into a plate of salt mixed with chilli powder.
- Fill the glass with ice, taking care not to knock the rim.
- Add the tequila and lime, and stir.
- Top with grapefruit soda, leaving a couple of fingers of room.
- Pour the sangrita over the top, slowly: it stays up top and sinks bit by bit.
