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.

As with the Sangrita, we enjoy two shots of this with a shot of Tequila. Sipping at first, chasing the Tequila with the Verdita, there comes a time when we pour the remaining Tequila into the Verdita glass. Not quite the Japanese tea ceremony but fun nonetheless.
