Salt-rimmed cocktails are being dressed with another kind of salt, beer salt! Twang is a Latino-owned company that has pioneered beer salt’s acceptance for people all over the US, making “dressing your beer” a common practice.
Edmundo Macias, the Director of Marketing at Twang Partners says:
“The ritual of putting salt and lime in your beer is well-known in Latino communities and a longstanding Mexican-inspired tradition. Instead of putting it inside, Twang combined it in their citrus beer salt and placed it on the rim of the drink, calling it “dressing your beer”. Twang beer salts to add to the beer drinking experience and is especially good with Mexican beer and domestic lager. The “dressing your beer” ritual is quickly gaining popularity throughout the country”
In 1986, out of an old garage, Twang’s lemon lime beer salt made with all-natural ingredients was born. Twang’s success has allowed them to expand over the decades into flavored salt for food, cocktail rimmer blends, michelada mix and more, including their cocktail rimmer blend, Twang-A-Rita.
