Happy Hour el Lunes: Sangritas

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we thought it important to show you guys a hot Latin man. (Yes, we know Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating their victory over the French, but we couldn't verify this dude's nationality so we're going generic. Perdónenos.)

Oh! We almost forgot. (Ay, dios mio!)

We also have a cocktail for you: The Bloody Sangrita and the Juicy Sangrita.

The Bloody Sangrita

THE CHILDREN

•1 shot Tequila Ocho (see below)
•1/4 cup tomato juice
•1/3 cup orange juice
•1/2 - 1 full lime, juiced
•1/2 Tbs Tabasco
•1/2 Tbs Worcester sauce
•1 tsp celery salt

WERQ!

1. Place all the juices, Tobasco, Worcester sauce and celery salt in a blend and blend.
2. Remove 1/3 of the mixture then liquefy the rest.
3. Strain the liquefied portion into shot glasses.
4. Float the reserved un-strained blended mixture on top, and dollop with a spoon of froth.

We just discovered Tequila Ocho, the first ultra-premium single estate vintage tequila to be introduced to the United States market. It's a sipping tequila, smooth and luxurious, without the bite you find in margarita style tequilas.

The Plata variety, from Los Corrales, is available now in major markets like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Dallas and Houston.
