- Expert Tips
- Using a traditional clay cantarito vessel adds a unique and authentic touch to the cocktail and enhances its flavor.
- Shake it like you mean it. Vigorously shake the cocktail shaker to mix the ingredients thoroughly before pouring them into glasses.
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients. When making the cocktail, use fresh citrus juice, good quality tequila that is 100% agave, and ice made from filtered water. This will ensure the best flavor and quality of the cocktail.
- Invest in clay vessels. Using a traditional clay cantarito vessel adds a unique and authentic touch to the cocktail and enhances its flavor. You can also purchase glazed cantaritos to skip the curing process.
- Before using the cantaritos, soak them in water for at least an hour. This will prevent the clay from absorbing the liquid and affecting the flavor of the cocktail.
- Garnish. Have fun with your garnishes or serve with a tamarind candy straw for a festive touch.
