Spanish Sangrita
Recipe GLPRc5e97747588d5f
A classic Spanish aperitif shot combining dry fino sherry with bright citrus and savory tomato juice. This refreshing, palate-cleansing drink is traditionally served alongside tequila or mezcal, though it stands beautifully on its own as a sophisticated sipper. The balance of acidity and subtle spice makes it perfect for before-dinner enjoyment.

Comments
Fino sherry is the only ingredient that demands a special trip—most Harris Teeter and Kroger locations stock it in their wine section, but Walmart and ALDI often don't, so budget time for that hunt. The drink costs roughly $3 to $4 per serving depending on sherry quality, but it's genuinely quick and the four juices on hand at any Charlotte grocer mean no secondary shopping once you've found the sherry. The five-minute claim is honest; this is a literal mix-and-serve. It's a single-serving sipper best enjoyed fresh on the same night, not a keep-and-reheat, so plan to make it to order when you want it.
