Frota el borde del vaso con la rodaja de lima para que la sal se adhiera. Asegúrate de humedecer solo el borde exterior y espolvorea la sal sobre él. La sal debe estar en contacto con los labios del bebedor y nunca mezclarse con el cóctel. Agita los otros ingredientes con hielo y luego vierte con cuidado en el vaso.
