Sangrita is a refreshing palate cleanser traditionally sipped alongside a shot of tequila or mezcal, but in this cocktail from Leyenda, the two meet in the same glass.

1 oz. Rizzo Sangrita
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. agave syrup (2:1 agave:water)

Preparation

Prepare a glass with a spicy salt rim (use a 2:1:1 ratio of salt to sugar to ground chile pequin) and set aside. In a mixing tin, shake all the ingredients together with ice until chilled and strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish.
