Tequila is a strong alcoholic beverage produced by distillation from the pulp of blue agave, which is considered a traditional Mexican plant. Like any other alcohol, tequila requires a certain snack, which emphasizes the taste of the drink and does not allow alcohol to quickly cloud the mind.

If you are going to drink a whole glass or two of tequila as an aperitif or digestif, you should have a snack with this coarse salt and a slice of juicy lime. To do this, pour a little salt on the hand between the thumb and forefinger, lick it, then quickly tip the tequila stack and bite with lime. In bars, another method is often practiced - salt is applied to the edges of a glass of tequila, which allows you to drink alcohol immediately with salt.
Today it is believed that lime and salt perfectly complement the taste of tequila. It is not known for certain who came up with this product to snack on this alcoholic beverage. According to one version, it was an advertising move of tequila producers, invented for marketing it to America and European countries. According to another, such a snack was invented by Mexican doctors in the 20s of the last century, when during a flu epidemic they prescribed tequila with lime and salt to patients instead of antibiotics. However, the Mexicans themselves do not practice the drinking of this alcoholic beverage with such products.
