From the Bartender

Traditionally served in an unglazed clay cup called a jícara, which slightly chills and subtly earthens the drink - if you can source one, it transforms the experience. Cuban aguardiente is an unaged cane spirit rougher than white rum; a light white rum is the closest modern substitute.
