The Cantarito is a complex cousin of the Paloma and is another favorite of Mexico. This classic highball adds lemon and orange juice to the mix of tequila, lime and grapefruit soda. There are a few brands of soda out there that fit the bill, but Squirt is most commonly used. The juices make this cocktail and it's always best with fresh squeezed juice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz tequila
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh orange juice
  • grapefruit soda
  • lemon, lime and orange wedges for garnish
  • salt for rimming (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Rim a collins glass with salt.
  2. Fill the glass with ice and add the tequila and juices.
  3. Top it off with grapefruit soda.
  4. Garnish with the fruit wedges.
