Its base is strong tequila and orange liqueur Cointreau, harmoniously complemented by sweet-sour lime juice. The uniqueness of the cocktail lies in the salted rim of the glass, highlighting the balance of flavors. Refreshing and slightly tart with citrus notes, it is perfect for summer evenings and festive gatherings.
