History
Commonly made in bars, cafés and even roadside stalls of Jalisco, Mexico. Rustic, locally produced and sustainable, Cantaritos clay pots are often used as disposable takeaway drinking vessels.
Review
Juicy (freshly squeezed orange, grapefruit and lime) and refreshing slightly salty tequila, invigorated with grapefruit soda.
If serving in a traditional Cantaritos pot, wetting the porous clay exterior improves its appearance, and as the water evaporates from the outside, it helps keep the contents cold.

Comments & Discussion
I agree with Brett that the salt overpowers a bit. Personally that's kind of a good thing, but that's cuz I like salty cocktails anyway
I found myself wanting just a little something extra, so I added 5 ml ginger juice (maybe more next time?), and a pinch of black salt. Nice!
