Sangrita Fresca, also known as Mexican Sangrita, is a popular drink in Mexico that is often served alongside tequila. It is a non-alcoholic drink that is made with a mix of freshly squeezed orange and lime juice, with an added kick of hot sauce and salt. The optional addition of pomegranate juice adds a depth of flavor and sweetness to the drink. Sangrita Fresca is great for those who want a refreshing drink that is not overly sweet.

Instructions

1.	In a blender, combine the lime juice and onion slice. Blend until smooth.
2.	Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
3.	Mix in the orange juice, hot sauce, salt, and pomegranate juice (if using).
4.	Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir well before serving.

PROS

It is also low in sugar, making it a healthier option compared to many soft drinks.

CONS

The spicy flavor of the drink may not be suitable for everyone.

Also, the pomegranate juice is optional, so if you do not have it on hand, the drink may not taste as good as it would with the juice.
