Ditto everything @cmartinez said, except for the freezing part. Try it both ways and see which you prefer. I likewise would not use Herradura to mix, just as you would not mix Don Julio, Patron, or other top tequilas. I prefer an anejo (aged) to the reposado (reposed), but both are great.

If you can find a jicama root, strips of it (cut like French fries) are great to munch along with the tequila and sangrita.

Sangrita is a true treasure of Mexico. I went for many years without any and finally got the local liquor store to start stocking it. You forgot the green of the Bandera, the lime.

I’ve searched in vain for it here. We have loads of Mexican restaurants and people in my area, so I’m not sure why it’s not available. Maybe an opportunity.

When I mentioned Viuda de Sánchez, it was in the spirit of its being relatively easy to find in the US. But I have to add that there are other better, handcrafted brands out there. If you know where to look. The good thing about sangrita, is that you can always prepare your own, if you have a good recipie and a little experience.

I got it wink,wink.you drive a BMW.So I'm
Free to oppress all Canadians.
Um... No... In theology (specifically, I think, The Talmud?) 'Ger' refers to a convert to Judaism -- Whereas 'beemer' (in the context of my post) is semi-pejorative slang for (usually annoying) individuals exhibiting disproportionately high BMIs (i.e. obesity) and, hence, being less than politely, describable as 'rude whales' Welsh or otherwise:cool:)...

Golly! - Seems diversity of slang 'did a number' on my attempt at humor:oops: <tears>

Oh! Well! -- There's just no winning 'em all...

Best regards
HP

Edit -- By way of avoidance of any misunderstanding, neither this nor my former post are in any way a 'dig' at any religion! -- My paraphrase of that particular excerpt owed merely to whim...

That said, as regards any 'beemers' 'out there'? -- Please take offense! Let it drive you to adopt healthier lifestyles! -- Bad habits (aka slow suicide) is painful to witness!
