Sombrero hat on Sierra Tequila bottles has 'mind-blowing' use that most don't realise

IT is the iconic little Sombrero familiar to millions of Brits who have a taste for Tequila.

Perched atop bottles of Sierra Tequila, the miniature Mexican headpiece may at first seem like a neat marketing ploy for the drinks brand.

And many may simply fling the plastic cap in the bin after throwing back a shot of the cactus-derived drink and think nothing of it.

But stop right there, amigo.

Because it turns out the sombrero – which comes in red and gold varieties – in fact has several handy uses.

Some people have been so gobsmacked they have even called the revelations "game changing".

Amazingly, the sombrero can be used as lime squeezer.

It even doubles as a piece to measure out the right amount of tequila for a shot.

But most interesting of all its purposes is that the rim of the sombrero can also be used neatly to salt your glass for that classic tequila shot or margarita experience.

Taking to Twitter, user J4ACKMULL shared his discovery with his 520,000 followers.
