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.
