Not for: People who dislike heat, and drinks with delicate flavors.
What the AI looks for in Glass Rimming Salts & Sugars
- Grain size
- Use coarse or flaked salt for rims, not fine table salt. Fine salt dissolves and over-salts every sip.
- Container
- Choose a wide, shallow tub that fits your glass rim, or pour the salt into a saucer. Narrow jars can't fit a margarita or coupe rim.
- Half rim
- Rim only the outside edge, or half of it. Salt or sugar falling into the drink changes the balance, and guests can choose sips with or without it.
Brands that matter
- Stirrings: Cocktail mixers and rimming salts and sugars.
- Tajín: Chile-lime seasoning, sold in a rimmer format.
What to avoid
- Fine table salt for rims.
- Colored sugars with dyes that bleed into light drinks.
