The trick with Carajillos that you will see if you go to a restaurant where they prepare it at the table (I recommend El Cardinal in CDMX) is that you only put a couple of ice cubes in the shaker and you shake it until they're gone - that may take 30 seconds. Magic happens, really. If you don't do this you end up with cold espresso and licor 43. Believe me, there is a difference between a 10 second shaken Carajillo and one that goes until the ice is gone. Try it. If you have dense ice (such as from a silicone ice cube tray) use 2 cubes and shake until they're gone, if you have ice from an ice maker use 3-4. If you want the drink to remain cold add more cubes after you pour into the glass.
I gotta tell you Leandro, I don’t think there is any reason not to use Squirt in a Paloma. It has something more tart and citric than the juice/simple/soda water combo. It’s going to be more consistent than than fresh gf juice. Now, Squirt in addition to fresh gf juice is fantastic because you get the citric acid kick of the squirt, and some beautiful color and citrus texture from the juice.
Squirt is good but have you had a Paloma with the Jarritos Grapefruit soda? I think it beats out Squirt as it doesn’t taste as sugary and has more of a citrus taste in my opinion.
I think the squirt version is great but there’s always a reason to do things differently. I think getting stuck on certain versions because they’re traditional or that’s how it was created is an enemy of progress and I maintain that there’s more than one way to make a drink and what’s best is a decision left to the drinker. You’ve made good points but that doesn’t mean that the drink in this video isn’t fantastic in its own way
He forgot probably the most well know in all parts of mexico "Michelada" granted its made with beer so maybe that's why. Also, from Jalisco and we add a bit more to the Cantarito, mainly to accommodate the Mexican pallet but I would say it's a solid recipe for those trying it out the first time!
In amatitan, jalisco, there's a place called Cantaritos El Guero. They have cantaritos so big they literally pour 2 full bottles of tequila in it. There are a few vids on youtube, it is great 😀
As a mexican I was a little dissapointed you didn't use sangrita in the vampiro; that's where the name comes from, sangrita, sangre, blood in English, so: vampiro, or vampire. But your recipe does seem very very interesting, I'd love to try it out. Your paloma looks very very good amigo. Cantarito's can have some variations, I'd say your cantarito maybe was a little short on salt, but it looks soooo god bro. Try adding chamoy and Tajin to your cantarito's rim, it's amazing.
I think the Sangrita version of the Vampiro is the most prevalent in Mexico, at least in Jalisco most places make it this way. and I know many people think the Margarita is the most popular drink but its really the Cantarito or just a good ol' tequila, squirt and soda water
For 5 de Mayo, I've always liked the idea of 'The French Intervention' cocktail because of the name, since that was exactly what the Batalla de Puebla was about, as the only Mexican ingredient in the cocktail is tequila.
In the height of laziness the other night, I poured a couple of oz of mezcal in a glass, put in a pinch of sal de gusano and gave it a good stir, then dropped in a dried lime wheel. It was surprisingly good.
Also a very traditional and usually never talked about spirit is mexican aguardiente, white sugarcane spirit. And a cocktail thats also very popular and traditionally made in a lot of small towns is a Pajarete or Cafe de Olla.
If you use Mezcal (non smoked) and tamarind Jarritos in that cantarito with ice you will love it my friend, so hope you try it. Greetings from Michoacan.
As a Mexican on the wine trade business (as well as spirits), I’m so glad you have a bottle of Arete tequila, that is a really good one not like the most popular brands that are thrown to the US market, I personally prefer mezcal and White tequilas that are more complex and sort of sweet of the agave instead of excessive masking of flavors with barrel aging
I recommend you try cocktails with an ancho chile liqueur called ancho reyes, as a bartender in Mexico I can say that it is one of my favorite liqueurs, besides that we also have a corn liqueur that you should try, they are very interesting and allow you to play with the flavors in unique ways, excellent video! Cheers!
Might be the first time a Vampiro has ever been served that beautifully. Usually it's served in a bag, on the side of the road 20 miles outside of town.
Love to see people pulling away from the typical margaritas and even more so promoting mexican spirits that aren't as popular, not even everywhere in Mexico like Charanda. Thanks! Deeply appreciated!
A bartender in Mexico introduced us to adding a splash of light beer to a Paloma, not soda. It adds a touch of creaminess and effervescence. So darn good!
The issue with Charanda is the same issue we are starting to have with avocado, they are from Michoacan and its a state where narcos have take over most of things. SOOOO in a happier note... a drink suggestions... For diferent carajillo...There is Corn Liquor made by Abasolo Distillery (They also make Whiskey), Its called Nixta, substitute the 43 Liquor with it and it gives it an amazing flavor, Nixta kinda has a flavor reminiscent of corn bread.
I thought that might be the case. On the Carajillo riff it is pretty good, I love the smell of Nixta, pretty exciting times for Mexican Whisky, unlike non Mexican agave spirits I'd say.
Mexican here, I have a recipe you may have an into, but here it is: Fill a shot glass with your favorite Tequila. Grab a pint glass, flip it upside down. Place the shot glass inside the pint glass until the rim of the glass touches the pint. Flip both over holding both carefully, the pint glass should be standing up while the shot glass is upside down still holding the Tequila inside. Pour in your favorite Mexican Lager on top. Top with a bit of dark soda. Every time you take a sip, a bit of Tequila pours out of the shot. Submarino Rojo (Russian Submarine)
The vampiro is famous in chapala. We drive from guadalajara go get it on new years. When I tried to remake i used salt, pomegranate,orange and lime juice with heredura reposado
Its great to see the carajillo! i had it a few times in CDMX, the best one i had they torched the liquor 43 to burn off some alcohol and bring out more of the caramel notes.
Hi there from Mexico City, I loved the variations you made, they look yummy! As for the Vampiro’s history, I’m not sure where they com from, but its very usual to find them in the street fairs along with the Cantarito (also known as Jarrito) you can see people jumping into carnival rides while holding these cocktails in their hands, not kidding
I had a cantarito in the small island of janitzio with my father and the use middle fresh fruit and left it in the cup with a chamuy and spiced rim. Perfect cocktail with a stunning view. Still have the cup from that day
Holy shit! Long time I don’t see that bottle. I live my from 7-14 in Uruapan Michoacán loved, best childhood a kid could ask for, small city with a lot to explore in weekends in the surrounding areas.
This is a huge upgrade of this cocktails, I'm from Aguascalientes Mex, I have made some of yours recipes in my house, all has been the Best of the Best. Saludos
You would normally use sangrita in a vampiro, sangrita is basically orange juice with chili The cantarito is called cantarito because the clay mug or pot that is served in. Clay pot translates to cantarito, or at least that is one of the closest translations
Thank you for your take on the vampiro, made this one myself with a quarter slice of onion and a sliced red pepper in the shaker, garnished the glas with salt and pepper mix and a jalapeno and orange slice. Not into bloody Marie's, but i do like the vampiro. Thank you again my favorite TH-cam bartender, you're a pro 👍👊🍸🍹
I have just made Vampiro and I gotta say this is one interesting cocktail. I was expecting it to taste strange in a bad way... but it does in a good one. So many contradicting flavors yet they work great together.
I would always recommend a regal shake ( short shake with grapefuit peel in tin) to really get that last bit of depth from the oils, especially if you dont have fee brothers grapefruit bitters. Awesome video of my peoples cocktails!!
As a Mexican I have to admit that “Carajillo” is a Cuban drink but it is very famous here and the way you prepared it is very accurate. Thank you very much for your video!
@@TheEducatedBarfly I started to investigate and you are absolutely right, thank you very much for the clarification! By the way, I had never tried a carajillo that included Charanda (which is a distillate that many Mexicans are unaware of) but I think it suits it quite well! If possible, I would like a video using different distillates of Mezcal (Tequila, Bacanora, Sotol, Mezcal, Raicilla, etc.) to see what they can do with those drinks, since in Mexico it is not common to make cocktails with these drinks. thanks for your answer!
Amigo, I have a huge respect for your channel and have learned things here, First of all I thank you for sharing about Mexico culture, but there is some wrong or incomplete info, from a colleague bartender in México your sources this time are not the best. VAMPIRO: That might be a local specific recipe, Vampiro definetly uses Sangrita in it (homemade is the best) Then, tequila (gorgeous choise of repo btw) lime juice and freska, or gf juice w/ salt on the rim ....PALOMA; por favor do not get confused with the legendary BATANGA cocktail, that is the one Don Javier (rip) invented and that one has coke instead gf juice,/soda, besides that your crafted paloma looks great just missing a salt rim (volcanic salt works great)... CARAJILLO : Really nice twist I love charanda too, choice for the name "Carajillo Monarca"... CANTARITO: great ratio on the ingredients, but I would never shake it, maybe just a bit throwing. Sharing this with the best intention hombre, I will keep always watching and recommending your channel, Salúd!
The Vampiro sounds interesting! I'm not a big fan of tomato juice. But since there's not a lot of it and several ingredients to balance it out, I kinda want to try it 🤔
Try it without the tomato juice, the original sangrita doesn't use tomato juice. Soak some white onion in lime juice, discard onion and mix with orange juice, grapefruit juice, granadine and whatever spice you like... cholula, or a dry piquin or chile de árbol, maybe some tajín.. and season with salt to taste.
“Hola Móni, otro maravilloso pueblo mágico lleno de gente encantadora, y tu familia de TH-cam. Aquí está mi receta para mi Cantarito favorito. 2oz (60ml) Tequila 1 1/2oz (45ml) Jugo de Naranja 3/4oz (22ml) Jugo de Toronja 1/2oz (15ml) Jugo de Lima Pizca de Sal Completar con 2oz (60ml) Refresco de Toronja Te envío a ti y a la cámara un enorme apapacho lleno de amor y respeto.
Yes, we are more about sipping a good shot of tequila or mezcal with our food. But many restaurants are no experimenting with cocktails. Recommend doing a video with Ancho Reyes
Leandro, have you had the upgraded Paloma? Stevethebartender made a video on it and it contained a grapfruit oleó saccharum with lime, salt, campari, and soda water. It certainly doesn’t beat the original as that is more of a summer sipper but it certainly is tasty and has complexity to it.
love your take on the Paloma. I hate when I ask for a paloma and they bring me a tequila squirt highball. When I make em for myself I use equal parts tequila and grapefruit juice, splash lime and agave, topo chico
My cantarito version I put ice in the cup, hand squeeze or cold press lime, orange, and grapefruit. You can use the measurements you have on the video. Add 1.5 or 2 oz of blue agave tequila depending how strong you want it. Stir with a spoon and then add jarrito grapefuit soda. You don't want the high fructose corn syrup ruining the taste of this beautiful drink. Then add salt and tajin on top of the ice and garnish. Save yourself the straw and drink it straight from the cup and enjoy the texture of the ice.
Well, on the Cantarito.. you got the order of the ingredients wrong. (Which is key) 1st is add ice to the cántaro 2nd salt - 2 pinch of salt per glass. Add the lime directly on. Let sit for like second or 2. Add the orange juice/grape fruit. Tequila(typically 2 shots) Soda is that last step. I know, I know it all will be mix in. Well you be surprised that the order of the mix matters to bring the best flavor. Salud! I agree with comment you should look into Sotol!
Awesome. I love this drink. I recently came across a recipe for grapefruit super juice. How would you adjust this recipe using the grapefruit super juice? Thanks! This is my favorite bar tending channel.
True that most Mexicans dont really drink cocktails when I go visit my family we mainly do beer or tequila with soda water if I am feeling fancy I do vampiros allllll day!
Just for the paloma,as a mexican I prefer this kind of it and i think a bit of salt would be nice; and also Licor 43 is from Spain but still this theory of carajillo as we know it is mexican
Your vampiro recipe is nothing like we do it here in Mexico, we don’t use granadine nor tomate juice, we use Sangrita. The only place I have seen that uses tomate juice as a replacement for Sangrita is in those all inclusive resorts that are full of gringos.
The trick with Carajillos that you will see if you go to a restaurant where they prepare it at the table (I recommend El Cardinal in CDMX) is that you only put a couple of ice cubes in the shaker and you shake it until they're gone - that may take 30 seconds.

For sure, there’s a reason they sell canned Paloma’s in Mexico with Squirt and El Jimador blanco.

I think getting stuck on certain versions because they’re traditional or that’s how it was created is an enemy of progress and I maintain that there’s more than one way to make a drink and what’s best is a decision left to the drinker.

Jarritos grapefruit is killer 🔥🔥🔥
Couldn’t agree more the squirt/jarritos version is just outright better

You just answered your own question. It’s made with beer, hence not a cocktail. But I agree, I can drink micheladas any day. They’re so good!
As a mexican i'm glad you are trying to put Charanda on the map
Also you should give a try on Sotol and Pox
As a bean*
El tarascó 🔥🔥
@@ttvskrillex 🤓
What is Pox?
In amatitan, jalisco, there's a place called Cantaritos El Guero. They have cantaritos so big they literally pour 2 full bottles of tequila in it. There are a few vids on youtube, it is great 😀

El uso de viuda de Sánchez para el vampiro es la vercion rápida y floja de un vampiro tradicional y es la más conocida
The Paloma is a super refreshing drink - right on !!!!

It’s true, those are the most popular cocktails in Mexico.
In the height of laziness the other night, I poured a couple of oz of mezcal in a glass, put in a pinch of sal de gusano and gave it a good stir, then dropped in a dried lime wheel. It was surprisingly good.
It's called derecho
The cantarito was my favorite when I lived in teocaltiche I was 18 years old in 1999
Been loving the content lately, learning a lot of stuff that I wouldn't have come across anywhere else, would definitely appreciate a charanda episode
Oooh it’s coming
Also a very traditional and usually never talked about spirit is mexican aguardiente, white sugarcane spirit. And a cocktail thats also very popular and traditionally made in a lot of small towns is a Pajarete or Cafe de Olla.

A good michelada also hits the spot! 🔥😋
Yea. Yea it does.
Limantur Mexico City consistently one the best places for cocktails.

Vampiros in south tx we used viuda de sanchez sangrita. With grapefruit soda, although I prefer juice to soda, all other ingredients are the same.

The cantarito are also very popular in Southern California
I live in Jalisco - The Vampiro is sold on the side of the road in a plastic bag with a straw!! The Carajillo is my favorite.
My family is from Uruapan was just there in August. Loved seeing you use Uruapan Charanda ❤

okay, low key glad that I knew all the drinks referenced in this vidoe. All delicious recipes. Thanks!
I need to buy charanda next time I go back to my hometown👌🏼 I miss Uruapan
You are the first non Mexican bar man that knows how to make a cantarito. Props to you ser

I usually buy a can of vampiro at the tienda where I get groceries every week here in northern Baja. I had no idea what was in it.
A margarita made with Hussongs and a paloma made from scratch with simple syrup and fresh grapefruit are top tier.
Ranch Water cocktail that Texans say originated in Texas is actually from Mexico. You have to make it with Topo Chico.
Arette and el Tesoro tequila is always a good choice! 👍
Vampiro is a veryyyy olddd cocktail, it was very common when I was 19 yro.
It’s orange season so Been making Mezmosas lately. So good!

Yeah I’ve had it it’s from Bartender Zac Overman
Vampiros are classicly made with Viuda de Juarez Sangrita + tequila
You should do El Vampirito- Tequila blanco, Sangrita de la viuda de Sanchez, lime, salt and Squirt.
i know it's not a straight spirit cocktail but i would have liked to hear your take on a michelada.
I can’t imagine orange juice mixed with tomato juice tastes good. I have to try that one! Makes me wonder who thought that combo was a good idea 😮
Mexicans probably
Two great tequilas---Props to you sir.
Great to see quality tequilas, and I NEED that rum!
love your take on the Paloma. I hate when I ask for a paloma and they bring me a tequila squirt highball.
When I make em for myself I use equal parts tequila and grapefruit juice, splash lime and agave, topo chico
I moved to Canada this year. I miss having a Carajillo every time I eat out
Si, great content!
Bro you just missed the Sea salt on the Paloma but other than that amazing explanation. As a Mexican we drink this on a weekly basis haha
I use grapefruit juice AND grapefruit soda in my Paloma.
My cantarito version I put ice in the cup, hand squeeze or cold press lime, orange, and grapefruit. You can use the measurements you have on the video. Add 1.5 or 2 oz of blue agave tequila depending how strong you want it. Stir with a spoon and then add jarrito grapefuit soda. You don't want the high fructose corn syrup ruining the taste of this beautiful drink. Then add salt and tajin on top of the ice and garnish. Save yourself the straw and drink it straight from the cup and enjoy the texture of the ice.
Lovin’ me some Tequila lately. Looking forward to trying ALL of these! Great vid.
I'm really surprised I didn't see Clamato used, lol.
I'm gonna make everyone of those
Some parts of Jalisco add pineapple juice to the cantarito.
I was hoping to see some michelada recipie.
My new favourite cocktail is a Margarita Negra I don’t have a session without one
A pajarrette would’ve been a good one to add to this list
Uuuuh, Charanda hits harder than Tequila, take it easy!!
I like your Paloma recipe. I use a very similar one, except I like to use giffard’s pamplemousse instead of the gf bitters 👌🏼
Well, on the Cantarito.. you got the order of the ingredients wrong. (Which is key)
1st is add ice to the cántaro
2nd salt - 2 pinch of salt per glass.
Add the lime directly on.
Let sit for like second or 2.
Add the orange juice/grape fruit.
Tequila(typically 2 shots)
Soda is that last step.
I know, I know it all will be mix in.
Well you be surprised that the order of the mix matters to bring the best flavor.
Salud!
I agree with comment you should look into Sotol!
Awesome. I love this drink. I recently came across a recipe for grapefruit super juice. How would you adjust this recipe using the grapefruit super juice? Thanks! This is my favorite bar tending channel.
I made this exactly the same with grapefruit super juice with nickle morris super juice recipe, strongly recommend that recipe over Kevin kos’s
True that most Mexicans dont really drink cocktails when I go visit my family we mainly do beer or tequila with soda water if I am feeling fancy I do vampiros allllll day!
Just for the paloma,as a mexican I prefer this kind of it and i think a bit of salt would be nice; and also Licor 43 is from Spain but still this theory of carajillo as we know it is mexican
Your vampiro recipe is nothing like we do it here in Mexico, we don’t use granadine nor tomate juice, we use Sangrita. The only place I have seen that uses tomate juice as a replacement for Sangrita is in those all inclusive resorts that are full of gringos.
Growing up in SoCal, bout 5min from TJ, palomas have always been Squirt, tequila and a bit of lime
Not knocking elevated versions tho
Charanda! Yes!!
Puro México
BTW, In Mexico, a lot of people drink "Carajillo" as a dessert cocktail. Nobody drinks it before or during lunch/dining.
agreed, as dessert or digestive (digestivo) after dinning
