Premium tequila deserves far more than lemon and salt. In Mexico it’s traditional to sip high-quality tequila alongside a bright acidic drink called sangrita – most often made with tomato or orange juice.
In the video above, we asked Bruno Caretto, owner of authentic Mexican restaurant Los Hermanos, to show us how to make a sangrita at home using three different types of chilli. His passion for the country he was born in, is evident in the way he talks about Mexico.
