salt rim
Glass lip coating
A salt rim is the coating of coarse salt around the edge of a cocktail glass, most famously on a margarita.
The rim is created by moistening the glass edge with citrus juice or water, then pressing it into salt.
She ran a lime wedge around the glass before dipping it in salt.
The salt balances tartness and adds texture to each sip.
