Up your mixology cred with rimming salts and sugar from Los Poblanos. The lavender salt imparts a subtle floral sweetness while the rose sugar is perfect with a cocktail (or mocktail), stirred into iced tea, or sprinkled on cookies. The lime salt has a tart, zesty zing — perfect for a Bloody Mary, Paloma, or — of course — a Margarita. And if the summer isn’t hot enough for you, then rim your drink of choice with their spicy salt. But don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Cocktails to Mix Up with Los Poblanos Rimming Salts
Pomegranate Margarita
The margarita is the perfect cocktail for a salt rim to complete the trifecta of tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. In this Pomegranate Margarita, the salt rim offsets the sweetness leaving you with a balance that feels complete.
The Protea, aka a Guava Margarita
Guava is another great flavor to add to a margarita with a salt rim. For this recipe specifically you’ll want to purchase Los Poblanos Piquante Cocktail Rimming Salts that uses nine peppers and three salts for its mixture. That little bit of heat completely changes your margarita game.
The Tamarind Sour
Since we recommend a red chile salt mix to finish off your Tamarind Sour you can use the same Los Poblanos Piquante Cocktail Rimming Salts above to portray that spicy touch. It works perfectly with the base of mezcal, Tamarindo Cocktail Syrup, lemon juice, as well as spicy bitters.
Campo Lavender Margarita
One last margarita takes us on the floral side of things with this recipe from Campo at Los Poblanos. To elevate this cocktail they use their Los Poblanos culinary lavender-sugar-salt blend on the rim that’s just sweet enough to complement the Los Poblanos Lavender Simple Syrup.
