Ben Fasman, Dove’s former beverage director and general manager, discovered the Cantarito while visiting the Lunazul distillery in 2012. “We’d been working with the jimadores [agave harvesters] in the fields and on the way back to Guadalajara, we passed a roadside stand; you ordered by pointing at which tequila you wanted and they’d chop up some limes, oranges and grapefruit and squeeze them directly into a cántaro and finish it with a spoonful of salt topped with Squirt and ice.”
