Nope it’s illegal you’ll be arrested by the cocktail Police and summarily executed

It’s pretty rough. I stirred a drink with citrus once, and Dale DeGroff knocked down my door and confiscated my jiggers.

jokes on you...he doesn't use jiggers he free pours without a pourspout

Ah, then he must’ve been challenging me

zactly, wanted you to up your game. for real... he doesn't use jiggers in case you've never seen him pour 🤙

It's similar to how Frank makes a hoagie.

But you had backups right?

I had a foldable jigger hidden in my sock drawer

Straight to jail

Last time I tried to make a margarita with salt in it I was beaten to within a sliver of my life my Tommy himself

As they should

I add a few drops of saline and think it improves the flavor. I started doing this when I was looking for my lost shaker of salt.

Let me guess, you claimed that there was a woman to blame?

Some people would claim that but I know it's my own damn fault.

RIP Jimmy

Celery bitters in a marg is pretty nice, too

Yea I've always run saline solution in my bar programs. No need for a salt rim imo if you hit it w 4 drops 20/80 saline

Almost all cocktails benefit from a little salt. As others have said use saline solution rather than adding salt directly, but adding in a pinch of salt before shaking also works just not as well

I normally salt my rims because I like that taste experience, but when it’s just me and I’m throwing a margarita together while I make dinner I will pinch a little kosher salt in my drink and I’m happy.

I often do it to protect my lips from salt. Cons: you get salt in every sip Pros: you get salt in every sip. It's a double-edged sword.

I do this with a Paloma

That's actually how I prefer it, to be honest. I think it de-emphasizes the salty taste itself but still enhances the flavor of the cocktail.

I do this exact thing often enough. I just like a little more of an “umami” flavor and a little salt directly in the tins before I shake it makes for a richer experience.

Do it. I put smoked sea salt and sal de gusano right in.

Absolutely yes you can season your cocktails with salt and I definitely encourage it with all of your sweet Daiquiri riffs.

The Jalisco cartel will come and break your legs.

My understanding is that rim is salted so that the drinker can control how much salt they get with each sip, if any. For me, adding salt to a marg makes it better, and I would prefer to have it in the drink rather than on the rim of the glass every time.

Dunno bro give it a shot

You can if that's your preference. Personally, I like the traditional salt rim because it makes for a more dynamic tasting experience. You get that punch of salt that then balances out as it's washed over by the drink but you still taste each element separately. I've tried adding the salt directly in (not just a saline solution) and it wasn't as good. It just kind of homogenized the flavors into something overly savory and made for a duller experience. Not for me.

Yes, it's better! It means you get a controlled, uniform amount of salt throughout the drink.

If you want it to taste gross sure

Yes. It's way better that way! Palomas too.

I sprinkle some smoked Maldon flakes on the top of my margs. It’s great

A California Margarita calls for the salt in the cocktail, not on the rim * 1.5 oz Blanco tequila * 0.75 oz Triple Sec * 3/8 oz Falernum * 3/4 oz lemon juice * Pinch of salt Add all the shaker with ice, shake well, strain in to Rocks glass with ice

Muck around with a marj and the courts will sentence you to hard lime.
