Cantaritos! The word cantaritos is used to describe the style of Mexican clay glassware used for this cocktail. First thing I will suggest is take the time and squeeze fresh juice! Don’t buy the bottled stuff! It doesn’t taste as good!

A Year Round Cocktail!

Of course we crave more icy drinks during the warm summer months, but tequila cocktails are always in season! Cantaritos remind me of a kicked up version of a classic lime margarita. What’s not to love?

Are You A Visual Person?

I do enjoy watching how recipes come together. Plus I love all the bright colors when I am working with fresh fruits and vegetables for salsa making. Try switching out the squirt soda for other citrus flavored soda or flavored seltzers.

    This looks wonderful, but unfortunately, I can’t have anything with grapefruit in it. It messes with my medications. 🙁

    Same here. Can this cocktail be made with a substitute for the grapefruit juice?

      Hi Gloria! I think any fruit juice would be good in this cocktail. I am considering using agua de jamaica or even fresh blended pineapple, mango or peach instead of grapefruit.

      I even considered cranberry juice instead of grapefruit juice with a sparkling cranberry seltzer
