Mexikaner

'Mexican') is a mixed shot made from a clear liquor (traditionally korn, but sometimes vodka or tequila are used), tomato juice, sangrita, Tabasco sauce, salt and black pepper.

[1] The drink originates from Hamburg, Germany, where the barkeeper Mike Coloni first served it in 1987 at his bar Steppenwolf in St. Pauli.

[2] Coloni was satisfied with the result and, after finishing the fruit spirit, continued offering it on his menu, made from korn instead.

In some variations, vodka, tequila, or mezcal are used; lemon or lime juice may be present; other spices such as chili powder or coriander, or other herbs.

One bartender indicated that the vitamins and electrolytes, along with its low alcohol content, make the Mexikaner unsuitable for those seeking to become intoxicated.
