The spicy margarita has quickly become a staple on cocktail menus across the country. But there is a problem. Many bars and home bartenders rely on brightly colored “rimming salts” to get the look.
Those salts are often packed with artificial dyes, synthetic citric acid, and anti-caking agents that can leave a metallic aftertaste.
The Clean Label Upgrade
At The Flavor Lab, we believe the heat should come from peppers, not powders. Our Organic Chili Lime Sea Salt is a USDA Organic blend of pure sea salt, real sun-ripened chilies, and tart lime.
The Flavor Balance
We designed this blend to have a medium-high heat. It’s not meant to overwhelm the drink. Instead, it enhances it.
The heat hits the back of the palate, while the real lime brightens the front of the tongue, balancing the sweetness of the agave in your drink.
How to Rim a Glass Like a Pro
Skip the plastic sponge trays.
- The Citrus Binder: Cut a fresh wedge of lime and run it along the outside rim of the glass only. This helps the salt stick while keeping it from falling into the drink.
- The Roll: Pour Organic Chili Lime Sea Salt onto a small plate. Roll the outside edge of the glass through the salt to coat the rim evenly.
- The Result: You’ll end up with a vibrant, crunchy, spicy rim that looks polished and enhances the flavor of the drink.
Try It On:
- The Paloma: Grapefruit and chili are natural partners.
- The Michelada: The savory heat pairs well with tomato juice and beer.
- Fresh Fruit: Sprinkle it on watermelon or mango for a healthy, spicy snack.
