It gives your margarita that extra special something, and its already sitting in your pantry.
I recommend using fine salt, like fine sea salt or table salt, for the best flavor distribution.

If youre makingfrozen margaritas, add a pinch per drink to the blender before whirling it up.
This trick also works for mezcal margaritas and any flavored margaritas, like mango.
Its also tasty in skinny margaritas.
If Im making a spicy margarita, Ill often use Tajin or a similar seasoning blend for the rim.
you could toss some in the cockatil shaker instead of plain salt for a more intense flavor infusion.
Simple Tip!
Dont be afraid to order this at a bar!
A good bartender wont mind adding a little salt to their shaker when mixing up a marg.
Fill the glass 2/3 full with ice.
Add a couple of handfuls of ice and shake until cold, about five seconds.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass and garnish with the lime wedge.
