Chef’s Secret

For a perfectly adhered sugar rim, use a citrus wedge to moisten the glass, then dip evenly into the sugar on a flat plate.

Substitutions

Best Match

White Granulated Sugar (dyed)

1:1

Identical in composition, just requires food coloring to match.

Salt Rim

1:1

Provides a savory contrast for certain cocktails, but not sweet.

Sprinkles (blue)

1:1

Adds a decorative touch and crunch, but may be too large for a rim.

Colored Edible Glitter

1:1

Offers sparkle and decoration, but typically less texture.

Buying Guide

Store in an airtight container to prevent clumping and maintain vibrant color.
