Notes
Inspired by the colors of the Mexican flag, this drink is served in 3 separate shot glasses consisting of tequila (white), fresh lime juice (green), and sangrita (red)-a spicy tomato-based chaser. Each serving requires 1-ounce each of tequila, lime juice, and sangrita. The sangrita part of this recipe will make enough for 14 (1-ounce) shots.

White part:
- Tequila, 1-ounce per serving
Green part:
- Fresh lime juice, 1-ounce (about 2 tablespoons) per serving
- Red part (Sangrita)*
- 3/4 cups orange juice
- 3/4 cups regular or spicy tomato juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 medium jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded and coarsely chopped
- Pinch salt
White part: Fill tequila shot glasses with tequila.
Green part: Fill tequila shot glasses with lime juice.
Red part: Put all of the ingredients for the sangrita in a blender and process until smooth. Fill tequila shot glasses with sangrita.
Each guest is served 1 shot of each part or color to sip.
Notes

The 3 part idea is great for small groups, but for larger parties, I chose to mix 1/2 cup of orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 3 cups of good tomato juice (regular or spicy and Tabasco to taste. Mix in one full cup (or more of good Tequilla and serve in Old Fashioned glasses with a sprig of celery. Note: like many mixed drinks, the use of a top shelf tequilla is a waste since you cannot taste the nuances of the grade.

My sangrita turned out to be too light with this ratio of OJ/Tomato Juice, for the second batch, I decreased the Orange Juice to 1/2 cup and increased the tomato juice to 1 cup. The color was significantly better and the taste was very good. If you do not mind the food spicy, you can increase the jalapeno to 2 if they are milder rather than hot, as some jalapenos are. Use GOOD quality tequila, cheaper brands tend to taste too strong.
