Vampiro

Serve in a Old-fashioned glass

Ingredients

  • Tequila
    6 cl
  • Tomato juice
    3 cl
  • Orange juice
    3 cl
  • Lime juice
    1.5 cl
  • Sugar Syrup
    1 dash
  • Salt
    1 pinch

Instructions

Vampiros may be made in a tall glass or an old fashioned glass. Bartenders may first "rim" the glass with Kosher Salt, which is done by placing a layer of Kosher Salt on a chopping board, moistening the glass' rim with lime juice or water, and then placing the upside down glass rim onto the Kosher Salt, so that the salt sticks to the moistened rim. The second step is to fill half the glass with ice and add one or two shooter glasses full of high quality Tequila. The next stage is to add the flavouring elements. This is done by squeezing a fresh lime into the glass, adding a few grains of salt, adding citrus-flavoured soda pop, until the glass is 4/5 full, and then adding spicy Viuda de Sanchez (or orange juice, lime juice and pico de gallo). The final step is to stir the ingredients so that the flavours are properly blended.

Expert Tips

Glassware Tip

Use a large ice cube or sphere instead of regular ice. It melts slower, providing proper dilution without watering down your drink too quickly.

Fresh Citrus Tip

Always squeeze fresh citrus juice rather than using bottled. Roll the fruit on the counter before cutting to release more juice, and strain out seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.

Sweetener Tip

Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.

Did You Know?

True tequila must be made from blue Weber agave grown in specific Mexican regions, similar to how Champagne must come from France.
