Sangrita (little blood) originated in Jalisco as the traditional accompaniment to fine tequila. Unlike the lime-and-salt shot beloved by tourists, Mexicans sip quality tequila alongside sangrita, alternating between the two. The sangrita's spicy-sweet-citrus profile cleanses the palate and enhances the agave's complexity.
