Lime is a citrus fruit as you're attentive to and it fairly is form of acidic. Salt whilst desolved in independent liguid is the alternative of acidic - or person-friendly. A substance is termed acidic or person-friendly in accordance to the ions that are permit loose into water so.....they cancel one yet another out. inspite of the undeniable fact that this is relaxing and relaxing for human beings to make sure the lime put in and that they think of ahhhhh some salt for a salty flavor. simply by fact we don't be attentive to how plenty lime (an excellent style) and how plenty salt is put in one or the orther could prevail for our tastebuds. then you could evaluate theoriginal flavor of the taquila. Banging the glass on the dounter in the previous ingesting is likewise omly relaxing - If the beversage has bubbles in it then the banging breaqks them and so the drink is smother as you swallow. i wish this solutions a number of your question. Please basically drink moderately as too plenty supplies fairly undesirable issues.

supposedly cuts the bite of tequila. which in my opinion is a sissy way to drink tequila. if you drink good quality tequila, should be like a scotch or bourbon straight up with no additions needed.

The salt offsets the twang and KICK of the tequila! It works too!

adds a little something extra...in my opinion, kind of takes some of the harshness away from the tequila.

it means youre too much of a wuss to handle the drink straight up. next time ditch the "training wheels" (salt and lime) and drink your medicine the right way
