Cantarito
A street-corner classic from Jalisco, Mexico - the name means "little clay pot." Blanco tequila meets freshly squeezed lime, lemon, and orange, is lengthened with grapefruit soda, and finished on a salted rim. Sour, sweet, salty, and fizzy all at once, it is Mexico's everyday thirst-quenching long drink.
