going back to the original post about the Jarrito, maybe, next opportunity stop by that place and get one and judge for yourself??

I will! But going back to the original post, "Somebody tell me what a Jarrito is, it sounds like something you would eat like a burrito" I think that we have now answered his question as to whether it is something like a burrito even if we all don't agree on the exact recipe of the "perfect" jarrito!

As far tequilas goes, I stay away from the mix tequilas and I have developed a taste for the good stuff.

As to the tequila that's used in a jarrito, a good reposado sure makes a better drink than a cheap mixto tequila!

¡Salud!

The difference between local jarritos and whatever you're referring to is we include fruit and fruit juices here.

Used to be the only place in the region to find jarritos was the Feria de Petatlán during Semana Santa. What fun!

As I said, when I make them I use fresh grapefruit juice and fresh lime juice. And garnish with fruit (lime, orange, grapefruit). I believe that that means I include fruit and juice. Everyone makes them differently though. I've seen it made using tamarindo, but I don't think that's as good. Besides that, I'm not sure what juices and fruits you might use, but to each his/her own. Maybe you like a banana or strawberry in yours, I don't know. Heck, some folks make chocolate flavored martinis!

That said, jarritos are certainly not parochial to Zihua or Petatlán and I doubt that they originated there. More likely, I'd guess, in Jalisco. Everyone has their own concoction so as I said, try it and experiment with how it best suits you.

Ash Wednesday greetings: a day of penance so no jarritos today, regardless of what recipe you like best

In theory, maybe a yes, BUT a Jarrito prepared in this place is better than regular served Paloma at a bar.

We all may have favorite spots for a particular drink, but the poster's (jeffx) question was "what is a jarrito." While a jarrito at Bodega del Tequila is good, there is no reason why someone can't order it somewhere else or make it at home. A palmoma is a very common drink. Just Google "Paloma" and you'll find various recipes, all more or less the same.

The only real variances are do you serve it in a clay mug (making it a jarrito) or a regular glass; what tequila is used (a blanco or a reposado); what soft drink (Jarritos Toronja or Squirt or Fresca or other grapefruit soda); whether you salt the rim or just add a bit of salt to the drink or no salt at all; and how it is garnished: a lime, an orange etc. Some like a bit of chile powder on the rim. Some use fresh grapefruit juice and add club soda or sparkling water instead of using the grapefruit soda.

Again, not knocking the jarritos at Bodega del Tequila, but there really isn't a big secret about it! I like palomas and jarritos and make a darn good one. When I make a paloma I use a reposada tequila, fresh pink grapefruit from my own tree in the backyard, plain selzer water, Florida key lime and a pinch of salt in the cocktail, but not on the rim.

And I happen to like the negroni cocktail and I think that mine are better than in any restaurant, but that's my personal taste!

Experiment and make it at home and you'll discover how YOU best like it.

Somebody tell me what a Jarrito is, it sounds like something you would eat like a burrito.

A jarrito is a clay mug or drinking vessel.

Jarritos is a Mexican soft drink brand.

A jarrito is a drink, generally a paloma, served in the clay drinking glass. A paloma is made from lime juice, tequilla, grapefruit soda (often the Jarritos brand) and some salt. It tastes similar to a margarita, but carbonated.
