In Jalisco, Mexico, cantaritos de barro cups are small clay cups used at street fairs to drink a citrusy tequila cocktail called “Cantaritos,” aptly named after the red clay cups they are served in throughout the night. The Cantaritos kit delivers this experience right to your kitchen, packed with every tool you’ll need. Included in the kit you will find two red clay cups, one aluminum citrus hand juicer (handcrafted in Mexico), paper straws and chili salt, so you’ll have no choice but to whip up a quick cocktail. The cups are handmade by Mexican ceramicist, Rodolfo Pila as well as hand-molded, glazed, and burned, which makes them stronger than the usual “one-night-use” cantaritos in Mexico.
Artisan potter, Rodolfo, began studying Mexican ceramics with the help of his father, who taught him traditional shapes, painting, glazes, and finishes. He studied at the cultural school at El Refugio in Tlaquepaque.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Make a Cantaritos cocktail by rimming the cups with lime and chili salt, squeezing grapefruit, lemon and lime juice in the cups, and adding tequila and grapefruit soda.
Cups are NOT dishwasher safe and fairly breakable (they are usually seen as disposable). Hand-wash juicer.
