Vampiro Cocktail Recipe
A refreshing Mexican cocktail from Jalisco featuring blanco tequila, tangy sangrita (a savory tomato-based mixer), fresh lime juice, and topped with orange or grapefruit soda. It has a signature red hue from the sangrita, balanced with citrus, subtle savory notes, and a salty rim, often enjoyed streetside in plastic bags.
