The original Tequila Slammer is made like this:

[Classic] ingredients:
(i) tequila, that Mexican spirit
(ii) carbonated beverage, like 7Up: (i) and (ii) in equal parts.

Steps:
(i) put all in a shot/rocks glass, leaving a fifth of the glass empty.
(ii) hold your hand over the top of the glass
(iii) slam it onto a hard surface, in order to mix it. A “successful slam” will result in the mixture to foam vigorously.
(iv) consumed the concoction immediately in one gulp; the intended result is “swift intoxication”.

Note that there’s neither lime/lemon nor salt mentioned.

However, in Sabah, it is made like this:

Ingredients [added in this order]:

(i) montoku / talak (local spirit)
(ii) a pinch of salt
(iii) the liquid off a lime (limau kasturi)
(iv) carbonated beverage, like 7Up: (i) and (iv) in equal parts.

Steps:
Same as when preparing & consuming the original Slammer, except “hard surface” is optional, you can even slam it onto your lap.

Here’s a demonstration video, taken apparently somewhere in Kiulu in January 2009, complete with the 2009 Dusun song of the Year blaring in the background:

Remember, don’t drink and drive.

… Perhaps you’d like to try to keep these in logo water bottles …
