Margarita Salt: More Than a Cocktail-Rim Seasoning

Margarita salt may be known for finishing a classic margarita, but there are plenty of other ways to enjoy its bright, salty flavor.

It can add a festive touch to drinks, fresh fruit, snacks, and casual meals without needing a special occasion.

Drinks

To create a classic salted rim, run a lime wedge around the edge of the glass and gently dip it into the salt.

Try it with:

• Traditional or flavored margaritas

• Palomas

• Citrus mocktails

• Lime sparkling water

• Lemonade

• Frozen fruit drinks

You can salt the entire rim or just one side so each person can choose how much they want.

Savory dishes and snacks

Margarita salt is just as useful away from the bar cart.

Try it:

• Sprinkled over watermelon, mango, pineapple, or cucumber

• Added to grilled corn

• Sprinkled over guacamole or avocado toast

• Used on tortilla chips or popcorn

• Added to grilled shrimp, chicken, or fish

• Sprinkled over roasted nuts

Bring it out when friends gather, the grill is going, and everyone is ready to relax. Sometimes a bright, salty finish is all you need to make the moment feel like a celebration.
