The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

My new favorite drink, next to licuados

Una bandera

A Mexican friend was kind enough to show me a “bandera” a few days ago. It’s a shot of lime juice, tequila and sangrita, and the colors represent the Mexican flag. You can order it with any tequila you want, and you sip it in the order I mentioned. (Yeah, it’s a sipping thing — no shooting.)

This bandera came from a bar in our new neighborhood. We’re actually moving this Saturday, yay! Our new address is on a street called Rio Papaloápan. We had semi-high hopes for this street:

Calle Rio Poo

    You’re gonna live on Poo River?

    No, we wanted to live on Poo River, but unfortunately there were no vacancies. I’m going to keep my eye on it though. It’s actually a very pretty street.

    I think Rio Poo is what Matt and I came home with after our visit last year.
    On a better note, I saw those pairings with tequila but couldn’t figure out what they were, I look forward to trying it!
    Congrats on your move!
