Instructions
Step 1
The most popular way: take salt, pour a little on the palm of your hand, lick it, drink a shot of tequila and eat the whole thing with a slice of lime. The salt and slightly sour taste of lime perfectly complement the unusual taste of tequila.
Step 2
The previous ritual is complemented by a special drink - sangrita. Sangrita is made from lime juice, hot chili and tomato juice. Tequila is drunk in one gulp, slowly washed down with sangrita. This is the most common option in the homeland of tequila in Mexico.
Step 3
Another very popular and fast way is tequila boom. A stack of tequila is covered with a palm and hit on the table so that the drink "boils". Tequila is drunk in one gulp and washed down with tonic.
Step 4
The lemon is cut into 2 parts, all the pulp is peeled off. The edges of the resulting "glass" are coated with salt, and tequila with crushed ice is poured inside.
Step 5
The most famous cocktail with tequila is "Margarita". Tequila is mixed with Cointreau orange liqueur, lime juice, ice are added, after which all the ingredients are whipped in a shaker. The finished mixture is poured into glasses.
