Steps
- Run a lime wedge round the rim of the glass and roll it in the chilli salt.
- Fill with ice, add the lime juice, then top with the can.
- Do not stir. The salt should come off the rim gradually, not all at once.
Why it works
Salt suppresses bitterness and pushes sweetness forward, which is why salted fruit tastes more like itself. The chilli does something different again: capsaicin is a heat signal, not a flavour, so it adds intensity without adding another taste to keep track of. Both are doing the job a higher dose would otherwise be asked to do.
