sugar rim

Margarita glass edge

A sugar rim is a coating of sugar crystals around the edge of a cocktail glass, created by moistening the rim and dipping it in sugar.

The technique adds sweetness and visual appeal to drinks like lemon drops and margaritas (which more commonly use salt).

She ran a lime wedge around the glass before pressing it into the sugar rim.
