July 10-Cantaritos

How many cocktails can you think of that have their own glass named after them? The most popular is martini, but you also have margarita and aold fashioned glasses. We have another example of that today called the Cantaritos. This is not a glass you would expect however. The drink is sevred not traditionally in a glass, but in a clay pot. That is actually where the name of the drink comes as well. The name in spanish literally translates to little clay pot. These little clay pots are seen as the disposable to go containers for restaurants in Jalisco Mexico.

This drink is similar to the paloma in that it is tequila based and citrussy with hints of grapefruit. This cocktail also features orange juice for some sweetness. These are important as if you use a drier soda like I did, you won’t get the sweetness to counteract the bitterness of the lime and grapefruit.
