Enjoy Your Bloody Mary Using Salt Rimmers!
A Bloody Mary is a vodka-based cocktail. It is traditionally made using a combination of tomato juice and Worcestershire sauce, with a squeeze of citrus, either lemon or lime juice, and garnished with a stick of celery, and the necessary rim of salt. A Bloody Mary rim can be made using lime salt, lemon salt, celery salt, or even with spiced salts to create a spicy salt rim.
The legend goes that the drink was invented almost a hundred years ago, in the 1920’s, by a gentleman named Ferdinand Petiot. He was a bartender in New York city, in the United States of America. The story is that he was asked to make a drink of equal parts, and chose at random the ingredients, without any idea how it would taste when combined. Little did he know that his drink would stand the test of time and become on the most famous drinks in the world!
The Bloody Mary rim salt
To create an authentic Bloody Mary, it must have a Bloody Mary rim of lime salt, lemon salt, celery salt, or even chilli and spices to create a spicy salt rim. Bloody Mary rimmers were traditionally just plates, with the rim salt spread out onto them, for the glasses to be dipped into. This however, often created mess and meant the salt needed to be replaced frequently.
These days you can buy Bloody Mary rimmers that come with multiple compartments. They are perfect to use for a home bar or cocktail area. Able to fit your lemon and lime wedges, celery sticks and other drink garnishes, they also have specific compartments for your lime salt and lemon salt, as well as any other salts that may be popularly used to garnish drinks, they are the perfect addition to your home. Bloody Mary rimmers used to only be really used in bars and nightclubs, but these days you can often see them used by everyday people in their homes.

There is also a compartment created just for the liquid you need to dip your glass into before you apply the salt mixture. This liquid can be any drink or liquid of your choosing. The liquid is applied to the rim of the glass to ensure that the salt you choose to use, fully adheres, and sticks to the rim of the glass you are using. The compartments are shaped in a such a way that glasses can easily be dipped into them to create a professional looking Bloody Mary rim.
