Tequila Cocktail

The traditional way to drink tequila is to place some salt on the back of the left hand between the base of the thumb and index finger. Taking care not to spill the salt, hold a halved lime in the same hand. Then hold a small tequila glass in the right hand. Lick a little salt, down the tequila and immediately suck the lime.
