Method
Glassware:

History:
A traditional accompaniment to tequila in Mexico where it is sipped alternatively.
Review:
Verde is Spanish for green and Verdita is best described as being a green herbal Sangrita with pineapple adding a hint of tropical fruit and sweetness. Leave the seeds in the Jalapeño if you want spicy and remove if you don't.
