Rim Game Strong

The Golden Hour Sour (Spiced Rim)

What it is: The easiest elevated margarita riff. How to do it:
• 1.5 oz Staria
• 1.5 oz part tequila (any decent tequila works)
• Shake hard with ice for 10 seconds
• Rim glass with tajín or chili salt (rub a lime wedge around the rim, then press it into seasoning on a plate)
• Pour everything into a margarita-style glass
• Garnish with a lime wheel

Genius move:
Rub lime on half the rim only. It looks intentional and gives people a choice.

Why it works:
Staria brings the citrus, floral lift, and balance. The tajín adds brightness and edge. It tastes like effort. It takes 30 seconds.

The Staria Fizz

What it is: A longer, lighter, insanely crushable version.

How to do it:
• 1.5 oz Staria
• 1.5 oz gin or tequila
• Shake hard with ice for 10 seconds
• Pour over a tall glass filled with ice
• Top with soda water

Genius move:
Throw a rosemary sprig or mint into the shaker before shaking. You don’t even need to muddle it.

Why it works:
The soda stretches it. The herbs release aroma instantly. It feels layered. It’s still effortless.

How to do it:

Genius move:
Double straining removes tiny ice shards and gives the drink a cleaner finish.

Why it works:
The texture gets silkier. The foam sets smoother. It feels like something you’d pay $17 for at a serious cocktail bar.

Why it works:

Small adjustments. Big difference.

Bonus Micro-Moves

• Use medium sized ice cubes (think refrigerator ice). They’ll chill the drink quickly, proof it down for balanced flavor and introduce lots of air for a thick head of foam.
• Want it tarter? Add a squeeze of lemon or lime.
• Want it lighter? Add a splash of soda.
• Twist a citrus peel over the drink and drop it in for instant aroma lift.
