However, in my testing, I did find that the candies were a simple way to reach the ideal balance of sweetness with the spiciness. In many cases, they are repeats of flavors that are already present in the rim paste, and if you’re not interested in a fruit flavor infusion that takes away a lot of the reasons for using them. When it comes to making rim paste from scratch, there seems to be a pretty sharp divide: whether to use Lucas candies or not.Īnd really, you don’t “need” to use these candies. In my testing, I preferred the watermelon Baby Lucas Candy. In order of spiciness, I’d rank watermelon the least spicy, mango as moderate, and chamoy being the hottest. And like the gusano candy, this is where you can get creative and inject some extra flavor in your rim dip. Baby Lucas Candy – From the same brand as the gusano candy, this has a consistency of granulated sugar and is flavored with sweet-and-spicy versions of mango, watermelon, or chamoy.The candy itself tastes is spicy with a hint of sweet. It’s another flavor infusion you can use to enhance either the spiciness (chamoy) or tanginess (tamarindo) of the rim dip. Lucas Gusano Candy – This is a Mexican liquid candy that comes in two flavors: chamoy or tamarindo.With everything combined, this candy is known for being simultaneously sweet, tart, salty, and spicy. Pulparindo – This is a Mexican bar candy that’s flavored with tamarind fruit (sweet and tart in flavor) as well as sugar, salt, and chili peppers.It’s delicious on various meats, like beef, fish, and poultry, but also can be found sprinkled on fruit. It’s made from a combination of ground chili peppers, lime, and sea salt. Tajin – Tajin is a seasoning like Chamoy, but it’s dry and more on the savory side.It’s sold in varying consistencies and spiciness. Flavored with chilis, it’s known for its salty sweet-and-sour flavor. Chamoy – The namesake of this rim dip, chamoy is a condiment from Mexico that’s commonly served with mild fruits, vegetables, or chips.I’ve seen lots of different recipes out there for rim paste, ranging from minimal ingredients to complex, and after trying a few, I found that the following combination of ingredients worked best and allowed for more fun flavors: The idea is similar to salt on a rim of a margarita, where you add flavor to each sip of your drink with the rim dip. Popular in Mexico, on TikTok, and even food trucks in the state, chamoy rim paste dip is a tart and spicy sauce that is coated around the rim of a drink. You can easily control the spice level or which fruit flavors you’d like to enhance it. Perfect for warm days and cool drinks, chamoy rim paste can transform your favorite spirits (or fruit, veggies, or meat dishes) into a spicy, tangy delight.
