Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite cocktail creations my 'Sangrita' which combines two of my favorite things! (Sangria + Margarita)

I have had a Half Sangria + Half Margarita before but it was a frozen version. I prefer my drinks on the rocks so I wanted to try to prepare it over ice. I am not going to lie, this cocktail took me quite a few tries before I could perfect the recipe & the coloring!

The trick to getting it to layer is to SHAKE both the Margarita & the Sangria (separately) before pouring them together.

Tip: You can make this cocktail without layering it and it will taste just as good. (trust me!) It will just be entirely pink in color.

Here's the recipe & if you're ambitious how to layer it as well! 😉

You start by making a traditional Margarita
2 oz Tequila
1 oz Triple Sec
.5 oz of Sour Mix
Splash of Lime Juice
Shake & Pour over ice into a Mason Jar

Then you make your Red Sangria
1 oz Red Wine
.5 oz Blackberry Brandy
.5 oz Banana Liqueur
Splash of Orange Juice
Shake!

Top your Mason Jar off with ice and start to strain & pour your Sangria SLOWLY over your margarita with your bar spoon placed on top of your glass. As you pour, you should see it begin to layer! 

​Add fresh fruit to the top (Apples, Oranges, Strawberries) & garnish with a Lime Wheel

*Salt Rim Optional 

Enjoy! 🎉
