Technique notes diff

  • Salted rim | Salt heightens aroma and suppresses bitterness. | Replicates classic margarita contrast without alcohol.
  • Acid, salinity, and texture balancing | In no-cook dishes, contrast between acidity, seasoning, and texture drives flavor intensity and perceived freshness. | This recipe relies on bright seasoning and contrast instead of heat-driven browning for depth.
