Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of zesty fresh lime juice
- Thinly sliced onion layer
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- A hint of spicy hot Mexican sauce like Valentina® or Cholula® for that extra kick
- Season with a sprinkle of salt to suit your taste buds
Step 1
Mix lime juice with a thinly sliced onion in a bowl, ensuring the onion is fully coated with the refreshing juice. Let it marinate for 2 to 3 hours to infuse the flavors, then remove and dispose of the onion. Next, blend in some zesty orange juice, a kick of hot sauce, and a pinch of salt to the lime mixture. For an extra burst of flavor, let the sangrita chill in the refrigerator before serving.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your fresh citrus fruits in a cool, dark place to avoid premature spoiling. A well-ventilated pantry or a cellar works wonders for maintaining their juiciness.
- 2. Store your ripe tomatoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration can dull their flavor and texture, affecting the overall taste of your sangrita.
