Rimming a glass for a margarita cocktail is a simple yet effective garnish technique that elevates presentation and flavour with textural contrast, offering opportunities for innovative customisations. Traditionally while the rim of the serving glass is coated with salt, other organic ingredients can also be utilised to offer a variety of combinations for beginners to try.
Incomplete without the traditional salt rim, the margarita is elevated by the brininess which balances the sour lime and tequila profiles.
While amplifying the drink’s inherent complexity, the salty-spicy garnish is ideal for contrasting lime notes with a peppery twist.
Margarita cocktails using organic tropical fruits go especially well when served in frozen form with a tajin rim since the spice contrasts the flavour.
Perfect for concoctions involving spice-infused spirits, such as mezcal or dark tequila, use cinnamon syrup to lace the wide-opening of the glass before adding the sugar garnish.
Made from dried sap, coconut sugar provides a caramel-like flavour that isn’t overpowering, highlighting fruity overtones of the cocktail. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
