a mortar with the salt and pound to a fine powder with a pestle. Store in an airtight container. - 2For the jalapeño sauce, add the Tabasco and the same amount of water to a blender and blitz with the coriander leaves. Fine strain then store in a container in the fridge for up to a month.
- 3Wet half the rim of a cocktail glass using a lime wedge and dip it into the coriander salt to coat. Add remaining ingredients and 1 tsp of the jalapeño sauce to a shaker with ice. Shake hard and fast, then fine strain into your salt-rimmed cocktail glass.
