Once upon a sun-drenched escapade to Cabo San Lucas, my wife Gail and I found ourselves on a cliffside haven, where the Pacific Ocean’s salty embrace and the tantalizing aroma of Mexican cuisine filled the air. Amidst the breathtaking views and the rhythmic sound of the waves, we stumbled upon a tequila tasting experience that would forever alter our perception of this iconic spirit.

Our journey to tequila enlightenment began with the resort’s exclusive tunnel entrance, a passage through the mountainside that unveiled the breathtaking cliffs above the Pacific. The resort stood proudly, embracing the freshness of the ocean breeze and offering panoramic views that were nothing short of magical.

As we immersed ourselves in the local flavors, we encountered the elusive and mysterious companion of tequila—the sangrita. This vibrant concoction, not easily found in the United States, bewitched our taste buds with its unique blend of citrus, spice, and a touch of tomato. It became an instant obsession, and upon returning home, I made it my mission to recreate this liquid delight with a touch of homegrown charm.
