Notes
- Lime swap: The lime zest sugar rim recipe would also work with grapefruit, orange or lemon zest.
- Nutrition info: The nutrition information is only for the sugar, per tablespoon.
- Food coloring type: I like to use a touch of gel food coloring but you can also use liquid. You will get a bolder color with gel.
- Freezer storage: The citrus sugar rims can also be frozen for up to 3 to 6 months for best quality.
- Tip: When you're breaking up the clumps, you can fold the wax paper up to quickly and easily transfer the sugar to the blender.
