Notes
Substitutes:
- Tequila: If you don't have Tequila, you can use mezcal for a smokier flavor. I've also used vodka as a substitute, but it changes the drink's character quite a bit.
- Lime Juice: If you run out of limes, lemon juice can substitute. It's not the same, but it still provides that necessary citrus kick.
- Sangrita: This is a tricky substitute as it's a unique blend of flavors. However, I've made a quick version using equal parts tomato juice, orange juice, and a splash of hot sauce with a dash of salt and pepper.
Making it Vegan:
- Check Your Ingredients: The Bandera drink is typically vegan as it contains no animal products. However, always check your specific brands of Tequila and sangrita to ensure they're vegan-friendly. Some brands may use animal products in their processing methods.
