What is Sangrita?
san·gri·ta noun · “little blood”

tradition
A sip of spirit. A sip of CALIZ.
What Makes CALIZ Special
Four elements. One precise balance. Each earns its place in the bottle.

Lift
Bright Citrus
Lime and orange cut through with vibrant acidity and aromatic zest.
Heat
Chile Warmth
Serrano and chipotle bring gentle, lingering heat with a whisper of smoke — present, never overpowering.
Aromatics
Botanical Finish
A whisper of select botanicals lingers on the palate — the note that completes it.

The Sangrita, Explained
Everything you want to know before your first pour.
Sangrita—literally “little blood”—is a century-old Mexican companion crafted to enhance fine tequila and mezcal. It’s traditionally sipped in alternating harmony with your spirit: a sip of tequila, then a sip of sangrita. CALIZ reimagines this ritual with bright citrus, savory tomato, gentle chile heat, and select botanicals in precise balance.
Pour CALIZ into a small glass (a caballito or copita) alongside your tequila or mezcal, and alternate sips. It’s also exceptional in a michelada, as a cocktail base, or simply chilled on its own. There’s no wrong way—CALIZ is built to complement, never overpower.
No. CALIZ is a non-alcoholic sipping companion designed to be enjoyed beside your favorite spirit. It carries all the flavor and ritual of the tradition with zero alcohol of its own—so you decide exactly how the night goes.
CALIZ delivers gentle, lingering warmth—present but never overpowering. Roasted chiles add depth and a soft heat that rounds out the citrus and tomato rather than dominating them. If you enjoy a balanced michelada, you’ll feel right at home.
