Sangrita

My favorite part of trying a new recipe is when it turns out to taste better than expected. This recipe was indeed a pleasant surprise! It has the spiciness of a Bloody Mary but the sweetness of a margarita resulting in a perfect blend. It would be a great addition to breakfast, brunch, whenever!

  2. Melynda - I would never have thought to put all these ingredients together. Guess that is why I'm not a Food Network star, huh?!
