Everyone can see the Margaritas but only the most eagle-eyed can spot the cocktail without the lime
A slice of lime is almost obligatory with a Margarita SIP TIP Everyone can see the Margaritas but only the most eagle-eyed can spot the cocktail without the lime Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOR many, cocktails are part and parcel of summer. In fact, recipes for the drinks are searched over 266k in a year, with more than three million searches for "cocktails near me". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Only the eagle-eyed can spot the Margarita glass without a slice of lime on the rim Credit: VSO 3 A slice of lime is almost obligatory when it comes to a Margarita Credit: Alamy 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." How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me? Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief. 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?"
