How to Prepare a Vampiro (Cocktail) with Casa ZG Sangrita Mix
If you like your cocktails bold, citrusy, and just a little spicy, the Vampiro is about to be your new go to. This drink is refreshing and perfect for warm afternoons or casual get togethers. The best part is that it comes together fast once you have your Casa ZG base ready.
What You’ll Need
- 4 oz Casa ZG Sangrita prepared with orange juice
- 4 oz grapefruit soda
- 1 1/2 oz tequila reposado
- Juice of 1 key lime
- 2 to 3 ice cubes
- Jicama slice for garnish
- Orange rind for garnish
- Lime rind for garnish
Prepare the Sangrita Base
Before building the cocktail, make sure your Casa ZG Sangrita is already prepared with orange juice according to the package instructions. This step can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge, which makes cocktail time even easier.
How to Make the Vampiro Cocktail
Add 2 to 3 ice cubes to a glass. Pour in the tequila reposado, followed by the fresh key lime juice. Next, add 4 ounces of the prepared Casa ZG Sangrita.
Top the glass with 4 ounces of grapefruit soda. Give everything a gentle stir to bring the flavors together without knocking out too much carbonation.
Garnish and Serve
Finish the drink with a slice of jicama and a strip of orange rind and lime rind. The garnishes add a fresh aroma and a crisp bite that pairs perfectly with the citrus and spice in the drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy while cold.
Serving Tips
This cocktail works great over ice in a highball or traditional glass. If you like it a little lighter, add a splash more grapefruit soda. If you prefer it bolder, lean slightly heavier on the sangrita base.
Simple ingredients, big flavor, and zero complicated steps. Just the way a great cocktail should be.
