Stirrings Margarita Rimmer
Stirrings Margarita Rimmer is a sea salt blend made for the margarita — "a blend of salt and spices for the rim of your margarita." Instead of plain coarse salt, Stirrings seasons the rim: sea salt with natural lime oil, orange peel, a little sugar and citric acid, warm spice and a hint of spearmint, in a 3.5 oz (99g) tin.

- Ingredients: Sea salt, sugar, citric acid, orange peel, not more than 2%: lime oil, spice, spearmint, silicon dioxide (to prevent caking)

About This Rimmer
A great margarita lives on the edge of the glass, and this is the rimmer Stirrings built for it — the citrus oils and orange peel echo the drink's lime and orange liqueur, while the spearmint keeps the salt bright instead of harsh. The tin is wide enough to rim a rocks glass directly. Stock the rest of the garnish rail with Dirty Sue Whiskey Cherries and the other Stirrings tins.
How to Use
Spread about three tablespoons on a small plate or rim straight from the tin. Run a lime wedge around the outside edge of your glass, dip and rotate for an even coat, then build your margarita — blanco or reposado tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime — over fresh ice. It is just as good on a Paloma or a Salty Dog. The sweet side of the set is the Stirrings Cosmopolitan Rimmer and the Stirrings Lemon Drop Martini Rimmer.
