Rimming a cocktail glass with sugar or other dusts as decoration and adds to the flavor of your drink. Jamie gives you a few tips to remember the next time you rim your glass.

Transcript
In this segment, we’re going to talk about rimming. A lot of bartenders like to rim the entire glass. I'm totally against that. The usual technique that they used, they take a piece of lime. Rub it right around the whole thing. Shove it into the sugar and away you go. It looks perfectly fine. I have a problem with it though and its many has to do with where the sugar is. I want the sugar on the outside of the drink. I don’t want it on the inside of the drink, because it’s going to affect the cocktail itself. This is not the way that we do rims. Not here anyway. I'm going to take half a lime. And I'm just going to wet the outside of the glass. I'm going to do something else too, I'm not going to rub along the whole glass. I'm going to leave a little portion that’s not going to have any sugar or salt or whatever you're rimming with. Just that way, the guest will have the option whether or not they want to have sugar. Now I'm going to take the outside and turn it, and that way you have rim on the outside, not the inside. And the option not to have the rim. Another little tip when you're doing your rims, leave it for a while. Right now, if I bang this down, we’ll going to see a lot of sugar falling down. But, if I did this a half hour ago, you have a rim which is sticking on there and not going anywhere. And that’s how you rim a glass.
