Cantaritos are a citrusy Mexican tequila cocktail served in a clay cup with grapefruit soda and a squeeze of fresh juice! Here’s how to make this refreshing cousin drink to the Paloma at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces* tequila (blanco or reposado)
  • 1 ounce fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce lime juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 ounces grapefruit soda

Instructions

  1. If using the traditional clay cup for serving, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes before using. Otherwise, use a highball glass.
  2. Combine the tequila, orange juice, lemon juice and lime juice in the glass with a pinch of salt.
  3. Fill the glass with ice and top with grapefruit soda. Garnish with citrus wedges.

Notes

Make ahead tip: To make a large batch for parties (8 servings), in a pitcher stir together 2 cups tequila, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, and 8 pinches salt and refrigerate. When serving, pour 4 ounces into a glass and top with 4 ounces grapefruit soda.
