_Limas Congeladas Rellenas de Sangrita y Tequila_ Most _sangrita_ recipes include tomato as well as orange juice, hence the name ("little blood"). This spicy, salty juice mixture is a traditional chaser for straight tequila. If you don't have time to prepare the frozen lime cups, just pour the _sangrita_ and tequila into shot glasses. Pair the _sangrita_ with a _reposado_ tequila, which has been briefly aged to impart richer, more complex flavor and a smoother sip. (See "Wine & Spirits" for some great top-shelf tequilas.)

Steps:
- Squeeze lime halves in citrus juicer to extract as much juice as possible. Transfer 3/4 cup lime juice to bowl; cover and chill. Reserve remaining juice for another use. Using scissors, cut out membranes from hollowed lime halves. Enclose lime cups in resealable plastic bag. Freeze until frozen, about 4 hours.
- Mix orange juice, 3/4 cup lime juice, grenadine, salt, and cayenne in blender. Transfer mixture to pitcher. Cover sangrita and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep sangrita chilled. Keep lime cups frozen.)
- Arrange frozen lime cups on serving tray. Pour sangrita into 12 lime cups; pour tequila into remaining 12 lime cups and serve immediately.
