  Rub lime on rim

  Rub the lime wedge around the rim of the glass, leaving an even ring of moisture along the outer edge, and set the wedge aside.

• 

  Step 4.

  Adhere salt to rim

  Turn the glass upside down onto the dish of salt and twist until a thin layer of salt adheres to the outer rim. Turn the glass right side up and set aside.

• Use sea salt, which is coarser than regular table salt, and is sold in colored and flavored varieties for a fun, festive touch.

  Step 7.

  Squeeze lime

  Squeeze the lime half into the shaker.

• First remove the seeds with a fork and then use it to spear the lime pulp, twisting and pressing against the inside of the rind to squeeze out the juice.

• 

  Step 9.

  Strain

  Strain the contents of the shaker into the salted rocks glass.
