A slice of lime is almost obligatory when it comes to a Margarita

And if you're a fan of a DIY cocktail, you're probably well aware of the ingredients that go into a Margarita.
So it might not be too hard for you to spot the cocktail in this brain teaser, created by VSO, that doesn't have a lime on the rim.
Others might find it harder to spot the Margarita glass without the slice.
If you're struggling, divide the image into quarters and take on each part in turn.
Just go up and down each column and row, then you can rule out any of the sections that just have glasses with limes on them.
For those still unable to find the glass, you might want to check on the left side of the image.
Any luck?
If not, check the top left of the image and you might be lucky enough to find it.
It has recently been proven that doing brainteasers is beneficial to our mental health, as it keeps the brain active.
"What is well understood about both the brain and mental health is that people are highly driven to pursue learning," clinical psychologist in neuropsychology Dr Amber Johnston told Yahoo UK.
Everyone can see the sun in this hot weather scene - but you're a genius if you can spot 5 differences in under 10 seconds
"Anything that offers new challenge and learning opportunities has been found to lead to greater well-being and enjoyment, with studies showing that people prefer to choose a novel and challenging task over an easy, repetitive one, even without reward for participating in either.
"Because we are naturally motivated towards challenge and learning, brainteasers fit into a fun category of hobbies that can improve our mental health."

It's also important to mix things up - by not doing the same puzzles day after day.
"What we recommend for overall enhancement of higher level thinking skills, particularly in an older population worried about having less cognitive stimulation in their daily lives, is to challenge your brain in as many unique and diverse ways as you can," Dr Johnson added.
"Maybe a crossword or Wordle, and why not a pub quiz?"

I put three new SPF sticks to the test for the summer – one option smells great and will get your whole family hooked
Read on to also find out the latest blush sticks that will instantly wake up tired complexions SUN-KISSED I put three new SPF sticks to the test for the summer – one option smells great and will get your whole family hooked Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CALL me a hypocrite. I hate SPF. I use it, of course religiously, but the residue left behind gives me the ick. Thankfully, there's whole a new breed of SPF sticks hitting shelves. I put three to the test. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 We put three SPF sticks to the test for the summer Budget Soltan Active 8 Hour Protect Suncare Stick SPF50+, £7 for 25g, boots 4 This Soltan SPF Stick is great value, but not the most sophisticated Credit: supplied On the outside, this stick looks to be the smallest of the three – but it actually has the most product inside. It's super-compact, making it great for popping into my handbag. The stick is quite hard, so it drags on skin, which slows down application and a few dandruff-like pieces flaked off, which meant I then needed to rub it in with my hands. This defeats the point somewhat, although it ensures you don't end up with stripes should you miss a section. It's great value, but not the most sophisticated. Mid-range Tocobo Cica Cooling Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++, £16 for 18g, boots 4 The Tocobo Cica Cooling Sun Stick truly feels invisible on skin Credit: supplied This is the latest stick to enter my stash, and it's gone straight into my handbag – it truly feels invisible on skin. Initially, the shape isn't great as it dips in the middle so you don't get even coverage, but after a couple of swipes the stick levels off. It promises to reduce skin temperature in just three seconds, and while I've not noticed the cooling effect promised, I'm convinced that the calming cica ingredient has helped take the sting out of a recent insect bite. I usually cannot stop itching them, and I didn't feel the need to at all while the SPF was on. Luxury Clarins Invisible Sun Care Stick SPF 50, £25 for 17g, Boots 4 The Clarins Invisible Sun Care Stick SPF 50 smells great and is suitable for sensitive skin Credit: supplied I first used this a couple of years ago, and in the time since I've got my whole family hooked. The stick is a transparent, orange hue so it doesn't leave any white cast behind, and you can see where you're applying it as it's shiny at first (although quickly absorbs into skin, so don't worry about it being sticky). It smells great, so you can skip wearing perfume over it as it reduces the effectiveness. It's still suitable for sensitive skin; mine is acne-prone and my mum has eczema, yet we're huge fans.
