There's nothing like adding a little spice to give tequila an extra punch. I tried this Mexican Sangrita at the Chicago restaurant Maize. It was so tasty, I looked up the recipe and made a batch at home.
Ingredients:
2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tbl. grenadine syrup
1/2 tsp. chili powder
3 shots of tequila
2 tsp. lime juice
Mix all ingredients and refrigerate for two hours before serving.
Want to do things strictly authentic? Mix the juices and chili powder but leave the tequila in shots on the side. In Mexican restaurants, sangrita is often thought of as a tequila chaser.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Maureen Post grew up in Wauwatosa. A lover of international and urban culture, Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.
After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.
Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.
