How to Make Punch: Grapefruit Honey Margarita

While the original sangrita was a blend of fruit juices served as an accompaniment to tequila this one was made with sour oranges and pomegranate. This one blends bitter grapefruit juice with honey and smoky chipotle chili powder. The combination is deeply complex and perfect alongside a high-quality silver tequila.

In a small bowl combine grapefruit juice lime juice honey and chipotle chili powder and stir until honey is thoroughly combined. Season very lightly with salt taste and adjust ingredients as needed. Chill in the refrigerator or stir briefly with ice and then strain. Serve in a shot glass with a good quality silver tequila.

The quantities here are for 1 shot of sangrita; multiply the ingredients to make more servings at a time. Fresh fruit juices can vary significantly in flavor sweetness and tartness so don't follow the recipe blindly: Be sure to taste and adjust the sangrita to get the balance just right.
