Bloody Mary how-to
Jalapeño Bloody Mary rim salt.
A salted rim is the first thing you taste. SpiceItUp! Jalapeño Dusting Salt brings a balanced jalapeño kick with a subtle note of cumin, which is exactly what a Bloody Mary wants.
How to rim a Bloody Mary glass
Pour the salt
Shake a thin, even layer of Jalapeño Dusting Salt onto a small plate, a little wider than the mouth of your glass.
Wet the rim
Run a lime or lemon wedge around the outside edge of the rim. Wetting only the outside keeps salt out of the drink.
Roll, do not press
Hold the glass at an angle and roll the outer rim through the salt until it is evenly coated. Tap off any loose salt.
Fill and pour
Fill the glass with ice, pour in Bloody Jalapeño, and finish with a squeeze of lime.
Tips for a better rim
- Salt the rim before the ice. A dry glass gives a cleaner line.
- Go half-rim if guests like to choose how much heat they get with each sip.
- Chill the glass for a few minutes first so the salt sets quickly.
- Garlic & Peppers Dusting Salt makes a savory, garlicky rim if you want a change.
