Potion de Muerto Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oz tequila
• ¾ oz fresh orange juice
• ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
• ¾ oz agave nectar
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• ½ oz beet juice

Preparation:

1. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the tequila, orange juice, lemon juice, agave nectar, and Angostura bitters. Shake vigorously.
2. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with crushed ice.
3. Slowly pour the beet juice over the top to create a haunting "blood" effect as it seeps through the drink.

Tips and Variations:

• If you're familiar with the Tequila Sunrise, you'll appreciate the dramatic visual impact of layering liquids. The beet juice creates a sinister, bloody appearance perfect for Halloween.
• Beet juice adds not only vibrant color but also a subtle sweetness and unique earthy flavor that pairs exceptionally well with tequila.
• For a milder version, try making a Tequila Sunrise with crushed ice and substitute beet juice for grenadine.
• To save time, you can premix the citrus juices and agave nectar. Just remember to add the tequila right before serving to keep it fresh.

The Potion de Muerto is a spooky and delicious addition to your Halloween festivities! Enjoy responsibly and have a frightfully fun night!
