TEQUILA AND TONIC
Spread 2 tablespoons coarse salt onto a flat plate. Juice 1 lime into a shallow bowl. Dip rims of 8 glasses into lime juice, then into salt to coat. Fill glasses with ice. Divide 8 ounces tequila and 3 cups tonic water evenly among glasses. If I’m making only one drink, I skip the salted rim.
Squeeze 1 to 2 lime wedges into each drink. Gently stir to combine. Serve immediately.
