Ingredients

Showing the cocktail. Switch to Mocktail for the alcohol-free version.

1 tsp yellow onion, grated
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp fresh orange juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp V8 vegetable juice
hot sauce, to taste
1 dash Maggi seasoning or Worcestershire sauce
2 oz tequila, to serve
2–3 Richberry halves

How to Make It

Steep the onion
Mix the grated onion with the lime and orange juices in a measuring jug and leave for at least 15 minutes.
Season
Stir in the V8, the Maggi or Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper, tasting as you go.
Serve
Pour into a small glass and serve beside a 2 oz shot of tequila, sipping each in turn.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
