Sangrita?

[missin44]

Please clarify. Should Sangrita have tomato/tomato juice or not? I have heard both?

Well RJC5XTC is the expert on this and I will defer to him; but tomato has been the base of all the sangritas I have ever had.

I would not exactly call myself an expert on sangrita, but definitely do enjoy it with tequila. To the best of my knowledge, there are two types of sangrita - spicy and sweet, but both are based on tomato juice.

Did you find some information about sangrita being made without tomato juice?

Yeah a couple places. Here is one example, http://www.jeffreymorgenthaler.com/2...make-sangrita/

Of course when you find things on the internet, seems everyone is an expert. That said, 90% of what I have seen is tomato based.

That recipe sounds like the sweeter sangrita I have had, although I thought it was tomato juice based. I have only had that type of sangrita once at a restaurant - El Agave in San Diego. I found it tasty, just not as appealing to me as the spicer, tomato based sangrita.
