Verve Culture Cantaritos Kit
Description
The Mexican Cantaritos cocktail is made by rimming the cup with lime juice and chili salt, squeezing fresh lemon, lime, and grapefruit juice in the cup, and adding a splash of tequila and grapefruit soda.Cantaritos de barro cups are humble, with a lot of character and history. These traditional, clay cups are staples of street fairs in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Known by locals as “the best way to drink tequila,” the jarritos de barro Mexicanos cups inspired the Mexican Cantaritos cocktail. Their clay material is perfect for maintaining a cocktail’s cold temperature, and the handmade nature evoked memories of generations worth of fun.They are traditionally meant to be refilled during the night at street fairs, but are usually treated as disposable. We have finished our cups with a special glaze to reinforce them. With proper care the cups could last for some time, but are easily breakable and not dishwasher-safe.Included in the kit: 2 red clay cups (Lead Free), Aluminum citrus hand juicer, 6x Paper straws and Chili lime salt. Clay Cantaritos Cups: 5" tall x 3.5" diameter at rim x 2" diameter at base Hand juicer: 8 x 2.5'' Hand wash with warm soapy water. Not dishwasher-safe.
