Micheladas El Gordo Tamarindo Rimming Dip Chamoy
Micheladas El Gordo Tamarindo Rimming Dip Chamoy is an 8 oz tub of tamarind chamoy rimming paste from Micheladas El Gordo, the California michelada brand — a non-alcoholic dip, and, per the line's wholesale distributor, its original flavour. It runs on chamoy's defining balance of salt, sweetness and heat in a tamarind base: deep tartness first, sweetness and salt in the middle, a low chilli warmth underneath, in a paste thick enough to hold a rim from first sip to last. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Tamarind: The Original Flavour
Before chamoy was a rim, it was tamarind — the sour-brown pod fruit that gives the whole tradition its backbone. The line's wholesale distributor calls the Tamarindo dip El Gordo's original flavour, and it is the range's straight line back to that source: no fruit detour, just tamarind depth against salt and chilli in the thick paste the brand built for michelada rims. Find the range on the Micheladas El Gordo vendor page or browse the spirits shelf for the pours it belongs on.
Tasting Notes
Flavour: Deep tamarind tartness up front, balanced by sweetness and salt, with chilli warmth underneath — dense and clingy, the traditional chamoy profile.
How to Enjoy
Rim the glass, pour the michelada. Then keep the tub open: distributor and retailer copy put it on fruit, candy and Bloody Marys — or straight from the container.
