Candied Rims for Cocktails
If you’re ever looking to up your home bartending game, Candied Rims for Cocktails is a fun, tasty way to do so!
Cost: $5
Equipment
- Martini Cocktail Glass
- 2 Plates
Ingredients
- Hard Candies
- Corn Syrup
Instructions
- Crush your candies. I like to use a mortar and pestle, but there are many ways to do this – food processor, rolling pin, hammer, etc. You will want any chunks to be relatively small, or they’ll just fall off. Alternatively, you can crush the candies down to a powder, for a less chunky look.
- Once candies are crushed, spread them out on one of the plates – you’ll want to use them fairly soon – moisture in the air will make the crushed candies sticky.
- Pour a small amount of corn syrup onto the second plate. carefully twirl the very edge of a martini glass in the corn syrup, until the edge is coated the entire way around the rim.
- Hold the glass above the plate and allow any excess corn syrup to drip off of the glass. Take your time – extra syrup will run down the side of your glass, not hold the candy securely to the rim!
- Twirl the edge of the rim through crushed candies, gently pressing down to secure.
- Fill glass with cocktail of your choice. Enjoy!
