Ajustatore di Tequila
Meet 'Justo Tequila,' a bottle with personality! Nestled in a wooden bucket, this anthropomorphic spirit sports a tiny arm, ready to wave hello. The text on the bucket and the poem below play on a clever Spanish pun: 'Justo' sounds like a name, but connects to 'ajusto' (I adjust), suggesting that tequila fits every occasion, whether it's a pleasure ('gusto') or a fright ('susto'). Created by the legendary Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada—famous for his skeletal calaveras—this whimsical illustration likely comes from a popular broadside, capturing the humorous spirit of Mexican folk culture.
