Micheladas El Gordo Watermelon Rimming Dip Chamoy
Micheladas El Gordo Watermelon Rimming Dip Chamoy is an 8 oz tub of watermelon chamoy rimming paste from Micheladas El Gordo, the California michelada brand — a non-alcoholic dip, not a drink, made for one job: coating the rim of the glass before the drink goes in. Retailer descriptions for the line describe the balance chamoy is known for — salt, sweetness and heat — turned watermelon-bright in this flavour. Spread it, rim the glass, pour the michelada. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Rim That Makes the Michelada
A proper michelada starts before the beer is poured: the rim. El Gordo — "the big one" — built its name on michelada mixes, and its rimming dips are the finishing half of the formula, a thick chamoy paste that clings to glass where a dry powder would slide off. The watermelon version is the playful one — sweet fruit against chamoy's salt and chilli warmth. Find the range on the Micheladas El Gordo vendor page or browse the spirits shelf for the beers and mixes it dresses.
Tasting Notes
Flavour: Sweet watermelon up front, then chamoy's signature turn — salty and gently spicy underneath. Thick and clingy, made to stay on the rim sip after sip.
How to Enjoy
Press the rim of a chilled glass or can into the dip to coat it, then pour your michelada or Bloody Mary. Retailer copy for the line also puts it on fruit and candy — or straight from the container.
