Frottez le bord du verre avec la tranche de citron vert pour faire adhérer le sel. Veillez à humidifier uniquement le bord extérieur et saupoudrez-le de sel. Le sel doit être en contact avec les lèvres de l'imbibeur et ne jamais se mélanger au cocktail. Secouez les autres ingrédients avec de la glace, puis versez-les délicatement dans le verre.
