A good rim pairing starts with the drink already in the glass. The goal is not to bury the flavor under the loudest option available. The goal is to choose a rim that gives the drink more balance, contrast, or finish.
Cinco de Mayo Cocktail Rim Dressing from CDM Brands gives drinkers several ways to do that with flavors such as Chamoy, Mango, Watermelon, Tamarindo, and Tropical. Each flavor brings a different profile, which means the right choice depends on whether the drink is crisp, savory, citrusy, fruity, spicy, or rich.
This guide focuses on pairing by flavor logic. Beer, Micheladas, and cocktails do not need the same rim, because apparently even beverages have compatibility requirements now. Humanity continues to make sipping complicated, but at least this version tastes better.
