Key Lime Salt Rimmer

This is the lime salt that belongs on a Bloody Mary. Celery salt with real key lime and a little Aleppo pepper: savory first, tart second, with a slow warmth at the end. It's just as good on a michelada, a margarita, or a slice of mango.

It's the lime salt rimmer that ships in the Stu's Bloody Mary Kit. This is the same 2 oz bottle, sold on its own.

What Makes This Lime Salt Different

Most lime salt is table salt with lime flavoring. Ours starts with celery salt, the classic Bloody Mary rim, and adds real dehydrated key lime juice, so it's tart the way a fresh wedge is tart. Aleppo pepper brings a mild, fruity warmth instead of straight heat. The result tastes like a squeeze of lime and a pinch of celery salt hit the glass at the same time.

How to Rim a Glass with Lime Salt

1. Pour a little lime salt onto a small plate.
2. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass.
3. Dip the rim, give it a twist, and tap off the extra.
4. Fill the glass with ice, then build the drink: 1 oz of Stu's Bloody Mary seasoning and 4 to 5 oz of tomato juice, V8, or Clamato. Add vodka if you're using it.
