EL CANTARITO
cocktail is a vibrant, citrusy drink popular in Mexico. It’s made with tequila, fresh orange, lime, and grapefruit juice, topped with soda for a refreshing finish. Often served in traditional clay cups, the drink is enhanced by a pinch of salt and can be sweetened with sugar or agave syrup. For garnish, use citrus slices or a rim of salt. It’s an ideal cocktail for warm weather.
