Ingredients

  • 1 lime or other citrus juice
  • Salt kosher, sea salt, or Tajin

Instructions

  • Quarter a lime and cut a slice down the center. Rub the lime wedge around the edge of the margarita glass so that at least ¼-½” of the edge is coated.
  • Fill a small plate or rimmer dish with salt or Tajin at least ⅛ to ¼-inch thick. Dip the juice-coated glass into the salt, spinning it around to coat all sides evenly.
  • Pour your margarita or Bloody Mary drink into the glass, being careful not to disrupt the salted rim and garnish as desired.
