I would not expect a bit of salt and blanco to make such an interesting and tasty drink, but here we are! I had some blanco tequila I was eager to clean up as I'm not a fan of the stuff and this drink not only proved to be a good means to do it...it also managed to be more enjoyable than the classic Cuba Libre to me! A good quality blanco helps this stand out, I suspect. And I was a little aggressive with the salt.

5/12 of an oz of lime juice? Peculiar.

I think I'll go with a tablespoon. Seems to me there's more of a difference from lime-to-lime than 1/12th of an oz would make.

S'alright. Was skeptical of the need to add salt into the drink with the salted rim but it definitely is necessary. Still think the Cuba Libre works better

Indeed a true Tequila 'n Coke with salt. Probably the best drink you could make with a Mixto without it being too bad.

This was outstanding. Understand why it is popular in Mexico. It is kind of a Margarita meets a Cuba Libra. Has the best of both drinks. Went perfectly with a spicy Mexican meal.

If you are in doubt about how much is 2 pinch, go easy on the salt - you could always add more. If you end up adding too much (like I did), adding a bit of bitter could salvage it.

5/12 oz is close enough to the juice from 1/2 lime. Salt really brings this cokctail to a whole 'nother level vs a rum and coke or cuba libre.
