    • Tamarindo Chamoy Rimmer Paste Recipe

    Super popular among influencers, Tik Tok, and Instagram! This stuff tastes soo good with almost any drink! My drink isn’t even finished by the time I’ve finished licking this stuff off the can!

    I’ve tried the very popular Tik Tok and Youtube versions that add all of the extras like Lucas Gusano, Lucas Chamoy Candy, and liquid Tajin. Let me tell you that they aren’t necessary. To me it actually tastes better without all of those extras. Although some might be necessary to make different flavors, they aren’t necessary for the original flavor.

    What is this and what is it good for?

    This is great to dip your closed can of beer, White Claws, Trulys, any hard seltzer drinks, and/or the rim of any empty cup for cocktails. 

    All you have to do is dip your closed can or empty cup into the rim paste until you get a good thick layer or desired amount.

    Tips & Ideas

    If your paste hardens too much after cooling, add 2 tablespoons of water and pop it in the microwave for about 20 seconds and mix. If it’s still too hard, add a bit more water and another 20 seconds in the microwave. The extra liquid should make it more runny.

    If you like it more runny, add another ¼ cup of water in the beginning.

    Make sure the can or cup is not wet or the paste might not stick. Dry the rim with a cloth or paper napkin before dipping.

    Store in a heat safe, airtight container at room temperature.

    After dipping it in the paste, dip the top into some more tajin seasoning for extra tanginess.

    Step by step process

    Start by adding ½ cup of water and ½ cup of chamoy to a non-stick pan.

    Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer.

    While simmering, add all 10 of your Pulparindo candies. 

    Whisk until the pulparindos have dissolved, about 10 minutes.

    Next, add the ¾ cups of sugar and ½ cup of tajin and mix until well incorporated.

    Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from the heat.

    Store in a heat safe container as soon as it comes off the heat. 

    If you wait too long, it will be harder to remove from the pan.

    Also, take note this will stain plastic containers. It will leave a red stain behind.

    Description

    Sweet, sour and spicy! This sticky rim paste makes the perfect rimmer for your favorite cocktails or hard seltzer! Just dip it and lick it as you sip!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • ½ cup water
    • ½ cup Chamoy
    • 10 Pulparindo candies
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • ½ cup Tajin seasoning

    Instructions

    1. Start by adding ½ cup of water and ½ cup of chamoy to a non-stick pan.
    2. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer.
    3. While simmering, add all 10 of your Pulparindo candies. 
    4. Whisk until the pulparindos have dissolved, about 10 minutes.
    5. Next, add the ¾ cups of sugar and ½ cup of tajin and mix until well incorporated.
    6. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
    7. Remove from the heat. The sauce will thicken once cooled.
    8. Store in a heat safe, airtight container as soon as it comes off the heat. 
    9. Enjoy at room temperature.

    Notes

    If your paste hardens too much after cooling, add 2 tablespoons of water and pop it in the microwave for about 20 seconds and mix. If it’s still too hard, add a bit more water and another 20 seconds in the microwave. The extra liquid should make it more runny.

    If you like it more runny, add another ¼ cup of water in the beginning. Just remember, that it will get a bit thicker once it cools. I would wait and see how it turned out after cooling, just in case.

    Make sure the can or cup is not wet or the paste might not stick. Dry the rim with a cloth or paper napkin before dipping.

    Store in a heat safe, airtight container at room temperature.

    After dipping it in the paste, dip the top into some more tajin seasoning for extra tanginess.

      Hi! How do I make it thicker? Once it has cooled it’s a little too watery for our preference and I want to try to save the two batches I made before I redo it. Any tips?

        Hi! Apologize for the late reply! Try to cook it down more. Put it back on the stop and simmer it for 5-10 minutes. Once it’s cooled, hopefully it’s a little bit thicker. The idea is you want to evaporate some of the liquids from it.

      Great recipe. Everyone loved it last weekend. Is there something I can replace the sugar with?

        Hi Josie!
        Do you mean replacing the sugar with a sugar alternative like stevia or splenda? Not sure it will work because the sugar helps it thicken and I’m not sure the artificial sugars would do that. If you do, may just let it simmer longer? If I try it will let you know 🙂

      Do you think adding watermelon jolly ranchers would make it taste like watermelon? And should I decrease the amount of sugar if I add jolly ranchers to add a different flavor.

        I’ve never tried adding Jolly Ranchers to it, I think it might make it hard instead of gooey. But there is a Pulparindo Watermelon flavor!
        Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/3oGA65c
        This should give it that watermelon flavor you’re looking for 🙂
        All measurements should be the same, just a different flavor pulparindo.

        Hi! I use the Mega brand of chamoy because it’s the one all of the stores around me carry.
        It looks like this one: https://amzn.to/3o50EwO

        I would say probably 3 weeks at room temp. It starts to get slimy and smell a little off after that 🙂

            Yes! For sure! It’s actually best if you make it a few days ahead of time 🙂 Store at room temperature. Should last a couple of weeks.
