Notes

My Top Tips
♡ Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor in the drink. Another bonus is lime juice works best for adhering salt to the glass because it dries sticky and the salt stays put.
♡ If the salt seems too chunky you can use a teaspoon to crush it for a finer texture.
♡ Roll the glasses in the salt multiple times to get a thicker coating of salt.
