  • 1 cocktail shaker

Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon Tajín to rim glass
  • 2 ounces tequila
  • ½ ounce orange juice
  • ½ lime juice
  • ½ grapefruit juice
  • 3 ounces grapefruit soda to top

Instructions

  • Prepare your clay cantarito cup by soaking it in cold water for 10 minutes.
  • Rim the cantarito cup with Tajín seasoning.
  • Add the tequila, orange juice, lime juice and grapefruit juice into a shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
  • Strain the cocktail into a cantarito cup (or other glass) with fresh ice.
  • Top it off with grapefruit soda and give it a gentle stir to combine.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit like a lemon wedge, grapefruit wedge or lime wedge.

Notes

Tips For Making

    • Cantarito cups are most often used because they are known for keeping drinks cooler for longer.
    • Many recipes recommend adding a sprinkle of salt to the cocktail shaker before shaking. If you like a little extra salt in your beverage, give this a try.
    • If you don't have Tajín to rim your cup with, you can use margarita salt instead (although we love the spice and flavor of Tajín).
