Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add pulparindo candies. Melt candies, stirring frequently, until a thick paste forms, about 5-10 minutes. Be ready to adjust the heat as needed; candies should not burn while melting. If the candies begin to smoke, turn heat down to medium low.
- Add chamoy to saucepan. If needed, return heat to medium. Allow to cook, stirring constantly, until Pulparindo has fully melted and incorporated in with the chamoy, about 4-6 minutes.
- Add the tajin, Baby Lucas candy, and Lucas Gusano candy. Stir and cook until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Check consistency and do a taste test. Consistency should be thick enough that it fully coats a spatula or spoon but will slowly slide off (paste will thicken as it cools). Taste should be tart and spicy with a hint of fruit. If you'd like more spice or the consiscenty is too watery, add tajin. Lucas candies can be used to add sweetness. Chamoy can be used of it consistency gets too thick.
- Pour prepared rim paste into a sealable container and allow to completely cool on the counter, about 1 hour.
- Serve by dipping cleaned bottles or cans into the rim paste, twisting the drinks to fully cover the top, rim, and upper sides.
