This one WILL make you sick but its your birthday and if you're going to celebrate properly then you have to do the shot of tequila and I want to make sure you do it right :)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 oz tequila

lemon or lime wedge

1 pinch of salt

Preparation:

1. Moisten the back of your hand below the index finger (usually by licking) and pour on the salt.

2. Lick the salt off your hand.The salt lessens the burn of the tequila.

3. Drink the tequila.

4. Quickly bite the lemon or lime wedge. The sour fruit balances and enhances the flavor of the tequila.
