Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients including tequila, salt, and a lime. Ensure that the lime is fresh for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cut the Lime

    Slice the lime in half. You will need one half for the shot and the other half for garnishing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salt

    On a small plate, pour out the salt. This will be used for salting the rim of the shot glass.

  4. 4

    Rim the Shot Glass

    Take the shot glass and rub the edge with a lime wedge to moisten it. Then, dip the rim of the glass into the salt to coat it evenly.

  5. 5

    Pour the Tequila

    Carefully pour 1 oz of tequila into the prepared shot glass.

  6. 6

    Take the Shot

    To take the shot, first lick a bit of salt from your hand (or the rim of the glass), then quickly drink the tequila in one gulp, and follow it with a squeeze of lime juice from the remaining half.
