How do you rim a glass?

Doing a sugar, salt, or sprinkle rimmed glass is a simple, fun way to serve up a variety of both sweet and sour alcoholic beverages.

  • Pour simple syrup onto a small plate
  • Lay out a separate plate with whatever sprinkles, sugars, or salts you are rimming the glasses with
  • Invert each glass into the simple syrup to wet the top edge
  • Dip the wetted glass into the sugar, sprinkles, or salt to create a tasty crown on your glass
  • Allow to dry for a few seconds and be careful when filling the glasses so as not to rub or drip on the rim
