Here's a nice little Mexican number for the day after too many tequilas. Or too few.
When my son lived in Mexico, we'd go to a restaurant called Fisher's, about 11.30-12, have a faceful of shrimp tacos, chilaquiles with seafood or their fabulous birria with braised tuna.
Ingredients:
1 bottle Mexican beer (Modelo, Técate, or Corona if you don't like beer
)
1 can tomato juice
Fresh orange juice
Hot pepper sauce or tajín powder
1 lemon or lime
Salt

)1 can tomato juice
Fresh orange juice
Hot pepper sauce or tajín powder
1 lemon or lime
Salt
Method:
- Cut a slice of lime and rub the rim of the glass with the juice. Dip the glass in a plateful of salt so the salt sticks to the rim.
- Mix together equal amounts of tomato juice and orange juice, add your pepper sauce (or tajín) and a squeeze of lime. Stir to mix. This mixture is called sangrita.
- Fill the glass 2/3rds full with beer and add the sangrita to fill.
- You can put ice cubes in the glass first if you wish; all my ingredients came straight from the fridge, so it wasn't necessary.
