Here are some top Sodii tips!  

    1) Use salt to rim the glass.  
     
    When salting your glass, start by moistening the rim with lemon or lime juice, or a simple syrup. To avoid getting salt inside the glass, hold it at a 45-degree angle and gently roll the rim through the salt. Let the salt dry for a few minutes before pouring in your cocktail. A perfectly salted rim will complement the flavours of your drink and add an extra touch of class to your presentation.
     

    2) Make salty ice cubes.  

    To create Sodii ice cubes, dissolve the mix in boiled distilled water and let it cool. Pour the solution into an ice tray, adding in small fruit or flower pieces for an extra touch of elegance. Freeze the tray for 24 hours and voila! Your drinks will have a unique and refreshing twist while also keeping you hydrated.
