Born in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, sangrita was created to quench the fire of homemade tequila and quickly became a Mexican tradition. When one orders a “tequila completo”, the customer receives two shots—one filled with tequila, the other with sangrita. Typically used as a tequila chaser, sangrita allows the person to appreciate the premium tequila while sipping alternatively from each of the glasses. Sangrita is an important ingredient in the Vampiro and Michelada--beverages that can be consumed at a more leisurely pace.

Sangrita is part of Mexican culture. Mexicans pride themselves on their cooking--creating large, delectable meals from scratch. These meals are an important element of Mexican life, uniting friends and families as they engage in conversation, feasting, and fun. During these cherished moments, sangrita is there as the beverage of choice.

So come experience the flavor of Mexico. Enjoy Tapatía Sangrita at your next gathering. It is the perfect addition as it adds the flavor of Mexico: culture, color, and community.
