How to Rim a Margarita Glass
- Pour large crystal sugar or coarse table salt in a shallow bowl. You can use a mix of sugar and salt if you like.
- Make sure the sugar or salt is 1/8 inch deep, and that the bowl is large enough to dip the entire glass in at once.
- Pour lime juice in another bowl. Do not use water-- the stickiness of the lime juice will help the sugar or salt stick.
- Dip the glass in the juice, then insert it into the sugar, twisting it a few times to make sure the rip is well coated.
- Remove the glass and let it sit for a few minutes before adding the margarita.
