Cantarito Recipe
The Cantarito is a high-impact "modern classic" that demands a precise acid structure to manage the bright citrus notes of tequila. By incorporating the performance-driven intensity of Frutiva Lime Juice and Grapefruit, you replace inconsistent fresh citrus yields with a stable, high-yield product foundation. This professional-grade build ensures every pot has the exact same bright, refreshing snap, allowing you to Maximize Every Pour while maintaining the highest standard of guest satisfaction. For a strategic variation, replace the orange juice with Frutiva Tamarind to create a "Tamarindo Cantarito" that leans into a deeper, savory-sweet profile.

Step 3
Add the Blanco Tequila, Frutiva Lime Juice, Frutiva Grapefruit, and fresh orange juice directly into the pot.

Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the citrus profile and the "craft" feel of the build.

Top with chilled grapefruit soda, pouring slowly to maintain the effervescence.
