Indulge in the Signature Sangrita Maria Cocktail
The Sangrita Maria, The St. Regis Mexico City’s distinctive take on the Bloody Mary, is a cocktail that embodies the spirit of Mexico with a sassy, rich, and bold character. Staying true to its Mexican heritage, this signature drink substitutes vodka with mezcal, introducing a layer of smoky complexity that elevates the entire experience. The use of mezcal, rather than traditional tequila which can sometimes overpower, enhances the cocktail by complementing the tomato base and drawing out its inherent umami flavors. This refined smokiness creates a depth that is both intriguing and satisfying, making the Sangrita Maria a standout among Bloody Mary variations.
The addition of a pasilla pepper puree injects a vibrant spice and sass into the Sangrita Maria, creating a delightful kick that awakens the palate. This spicy smokiness harmonizes beautifully with the umami richness derived from Worcestershire and Maggi seasoning, resulting in a perfectly balanced and utterly delicious cocktail. A splash of fresh lemon juice further refines the balance, adding a citrusy zest that cuts through the richness and brightens the flavors. The agave salt rim introduces another dimension of smoky-sweet complexity, enhancing the sensory journey with each sip. Served with a simple lemon wedge garnish, the Sangrita Maria is designed to be a sophisticated and immersive cocktail experience, inviting you to savor each nuanced layer of flavor.
