A cocktail with salt on the rim is called Margaret. Margaret is known as "After Cocktail" and is one of the most well-known traditional cocktails in the world, except for Martini. It once won an award at the 1949 American Cocktail Competition.

Why should the cocktail glass be coated with a layer of salt

1. Beautiful decoration

As the saying goes, people rely on clothing and Buddha relies on gold. For pure and monotonous cocktails, it is also necessary to increase their aesthetic appeal. Salt edging is indeed a good way to "catch the eye", and a circle of salt edging can greatly enhance the appearance!

2. Balanced Flavor

Salt is also a "refreshing" tool, and adding salt to cocktails can greatly enrich the body and flavor of the wine. A slightly sweet cocktail that flows through the salt on the rim of the glass can soften the sweetness and enhance its sweetness; Sour cocktails can feel the stronger stimulation of salt on taste buds, which perfectly reflects the freshness; Stronger cocktails can reduce bitterness and make the taste more mellow.

3. Accelerate drunkenness

Want to feel drunk in a faster way? Add a rim of salt to the glass. The composition of salt contains sodium chloride. When the concentration of sodium ions in the human blood increases, it can increase the osmotic pressure of plasma and intercellular fluid, making it easy for people to get drunk.

4. Enhanced texture

To enhance the texture of cocktails, the ability of salt to dissolve carbon dioxide in water rapidly decreases. Immediately release a large number of bubbles.
