Notes

  1. Make-ahead: Mix everything together except the Squirt and the ice up to a day in advance. Stir in the Squirt and ice right before serving.
  2. Ice: Use large ice cubes for the cazuela. They will melt slower and water down the drink less. I like these large silicone ice trays.
  3. With Tequila: If you'd prefer to make this drink with tequila instead of wine, use 1 cup tequila.
  4. Cazuela: You can find the shallow clay pots at many Latin markets but they also sell them online. If you don't have a traditional cazuela, use a large pitcher or punch bowl.
