Method
Glassware:
Serve in a Cantaritos clay pot or Collins glass
Prepare:
- Select and pre-chill a CANTARITOS CLAY POT OR COLLINS GLASS.
- Prepare garnish of lime wedge.
Method:
- If using a Cantaritos clay pot (instead of a collins glass) submerge the pot in cold water to clean the inside and wet the outside clay.
- POUR ingredients into ice-filled pot or glass.
- Briefly STIR.
Garnish:
- Garnish with lime wedge.
- Serve with a straw.
History:
Commonly made in bars, cafés and even roadside stalls of Jalisco, Mexico. Rustic, locally produced and sustainable, Cantaritos clay pots are often used as disposable takeaway drinking vessels.
Review:
Juicy (freshly squeezed orange, grapefruit and lime) and refreshing slightly salty tequila, invigorated with grapefruit soda.
If serving in a traditional Cantaritos pot, wetting the porous clay exterior improves its appearance, and as the water evaporates from the outside, it helps keep the contents cold.
