Salt

Salt is a versatile ingredient in cocktails, often used to enhance flavors or create a savory twist. It’s commonly used as a rim garnish in drinks like the Margarita, adding a salty contrast to the citrusy profile. Salt also helps balance sweetness and intensify flavors, making it ideal in cocktails like the Salty Dog or a Dirty Martini. Its presence can elevate both traditional and modern cocktails, bringing depth and a touch of complexity.
