Ingredients
for a salt rim
- lime wedge
- kosher or sea salt
for a sugar rim
- lime wedge
- granulated sugar
for a sprinkle rim
- honey chocolate syrup, maple syrup or frosting

Instructions
For salt & sugar rims
- Pour the salt or sugar onto a small plate. (A shallow, small bowl also works.) Shake it gently so that it forms an even layer.
- Hold a lime wedge or lemon wedge in one hand and your glass in the other. Use the lime wedge to moisten the top and outer lip of the glass. A thin layer of fresh lime juice is all you need.
- For a lip rim: Dip the rim of each glass in salt or sugar.
- For a band rim: Roll the rim of each glass in salt or sugar.
- Tap the glass to dislodge any excess.
For sprinkle rims
- Pour the sprinkles onto a small plate. (A shallow, small bowl also works.) Shake it gently so that it forms an even layer.
- Use your finger or a food-safe paintbrush to paint on the honey, syrup or frosting.
- Roll in sprinkles. You can also use this method for cookie crumbs, crushed candy and other sweet rims.
- Tap the glass to dislodge any excess.
