In Mexico, the most traditional way to drink Tequila is neat and at room temperature without fruit slices or salt. In 2002, the Consejo Regulador del Tequila approved an official tequila sipping glass called the Ouverture Tequila glass made by Riedel.
In some regions, it is popular to drink equal-sized shots of tequila and sangrita (little blood in Spanish), a typical Mexican beverage made traditionally with hot sauce, orange, lime, and pomegranate juice. These are sipped alternately without salt or lime.
In Jalisco, the Cantarito is a common mixed drink that is usually served in little clay cups (Cantaritos), made with tequila, freshly squeezed orange, grapefruit, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and sparkling grapefruit soda. This amazing drink is a must-have during your visit to the beautiful town of Tequila!
All these methods are always best enjoyed with close friends — cheers!
