The Story
The cantarito — tequila, orange, grapefruit and lime juices, grapefruit soda and salt, served in a clay pot — is said to date to the Mexican Revolution, when it refreshed tired troops in Jalisco. Cantadrink bottles that recipe in its signature cantarito-style jar; the Mega is the shareable 1.5L format. The original 375mL Cantadrink Cantarito is in our cocktails collection too.
Tasting Notes
Bright citrus — orange and grapefruit first — over a soft tequila base, lightly sweet and made to be drunk icy cold, with the chile-lime kick of Tajin on the rim.
How to Enjoy
Fill the jar (or your glass) with ice and pour. Rim glasses with the included Tajin for the full cantarito experience. One Mega pours roughly ten generous cantaritos.
