Pro Tips

🏺 The Clay Cup

"Cantarito" means "little jug" – traditionally served in unglazed clay cups that add mineral notes and keep drinks cold. You can find them at Mexican markets.

🍊 All the Citrus

The combination of four fresh citrus juices is what makes this special. Don't skip any of them – the complexity is the point.
