A few drinks call for both orange juice and tomato juice. The orange juice called for in these drink recipes could be fresh squeezed, canned or from frozen concentrate. The tomato juice is usually canned, but could be made fresh. Many drinks call for either orange juice or tomato juice, plus other ingredients, particularly alcohol. A few commercially produced drinks, though, contain both tomato and orange juice. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Besides orange juice and tomato juice, Tequila and Sangrita includes tequila, grenadine, salt, lime and Tabasco hot sauce. The recipe on the website Extra Tasty calls for 6 parts orange juice, 3 parts tomato juice and 1 part grenadine mixed with the other ingredients and served alongside 1 1/2 parts tequila. According to the website, proportions are not critical and the drink could be garnished with lemon wedges and cracked pepper. The tequila and Sangrita drinks should be sipped alternately. This drink is also called Sangrita Picante.
