Deeply rooted in Mexican tradition, cantarito is the iconic tequila-based cocktail traditionally served in handcrafted terracotta cups called jarritos. The Tulum Cantaritos are inspired by such vessels, they embody centuries of Mexican craftsmanship and Mexico's influence in hospitality culture. Available individually or in sets of 2, 4, and 6. Each Tulum jarrito is individually shaped and molded from toxin-free, all-natural terracotta through a meticulous artisan process. Skilled craftspeople hand-form every cup, then intricately free-hand paint the raised Tulum pattern across the entire surface. After painting, the cups are glaze-fired and sealed, creating a durable vessel with a distinctive raised, glossy texture that catches light beautifully. This finishing process ensures the terracotta can safely serve both cold and hot beverages while maintaining its authentic character. The difference between cantaritos and jarritos is simple: cantarito is the drink; jarritos are the vessels. Together, they create an authentic Mexican experience—a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and community. Whether enjoying your favorite cocktail or serving hot cocoa, these handmade cups elevate any gathering with genuine cultural significance and artisan beauty. 

✱ Creative Utility of that 100% natural and sustainably made by hand.
Jarrito's are twice baked in a high-fire kiln at temperatures reaching 1700˚F. This first bake transforms raw clay down to a molecular level. The high heat and curing process forces out tiny air pockets condensing the material so be very hard and resilient. The baked clay has a warm natural terracotta color with a soft matte finish.
These weighty and steadfast cups are not only a wonderful work of art. The clay's conductive properties help retain the temperature of your preferred beverage. A wonderful function in serving hot beverages like cocoa or coffee and the cold beverages like Cantaritos and other cocktails.
