Ancho Chili Salt Rim
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt, such as maldon sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Ancho chili powder
- tiny pinch of cinnamon
- tiny pinch of red pepper flakes
- wedges of lime for serving and one for prepping the glass
Instructions
- Combine all the dry ingredients on a plate that will comfortably fit your glasses when turned upside-down.
- Working with one glass at a time, rub one of the lime wedges all the way around the rim of the glass. Turn the glass upside-down and tap into the chili salt mixture until you have the desired amount of salt around the rim. Repeat for each glass.
- Store any remaining mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
