Why This Glass

The broad rim gives you a big circle of salt or sugar, and the small lower bowl keeps a frozen drink cold.

Tip

Salt only the outside of the rim so it never falls into the drink.

A Little History

The shape is a product of the frozen Margarita era of the 1970s, which began after Mariano Martinez in Dallas adapted a soft-serve machine in 1971.
