- 1 cup of Grapefruit Juice

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Jug
Fill the 5-liter jug with ice cubes. This will keep your Cantarito chilled and refreshing throughout your gathering.
Step 2: Add the Tequila
Pour 2 cups of tequila into the jug. The tequila is the base of this drink and gives it its signature Mexican flair.
Step 3: Squeeze the Juices
Squeeze fresh orange juice, lime juice, and grapefruit juice into the jug. The combination of these citrus flavors gives the Cantarito its zesty taste.
Step 4: Add Soda Water
Pour 1 cup of soda water into the jug. The bubbles from the soda water will add a refreshing touch to your Cantarito.
Step 5: Mix Well
Using a long spoon, gently stir the contents of the jug until everything is well mixed.
Step 6: Check the Taste
Take a small taste of the Cantarito and adjust the ingredients according to your preference. If it’s too strong, add more juice. If it’s too sweet, add more tequila or soda water.
Step 7: Rim the Glasses
Take each serving glass and dampen the rim with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into salt, coating it evenly. This adds an extra burst of flavor to each sip.
Step 8: Serve and Garnish
Pour the Cantarito into the rimmed glasses, and garnish each glass with a slice of lime, orange, and grapefruit. This not only looks beautiful but also adds a vibrant aroma to your drink.
