Casamigos Jar

This is a Casamigos-branded jar, sold as merchandise and barware rather than as a spirit. Casamigos is best known as a tequila label, so this piece suits anyone who wants the brand's name on their home bar. The listing doesn't give the jar's capacity, material, lid type or dimensions, so check the product photos for those before buying. Jars like this do real work behind a bar. The most common use is as a station container for dry garnishes and rimming ingredients. Coarse salt, chili-lime salt or a sugar-and-salt blend stay within reach for rimming margarita, paloma or tequila-soda glasses. A wide-mouthed jar suits this, since you can dip a moistened glass rim straight into it. It also holds citrus wedges or wheels, pickled jalapeño slices and cocktail cherries for the evening, though anything wet should be refrigerated and emptied afterward. If you do make tequila drinks, a jar of rimming salt next to a tequila-based margarita is the obvious pairing. A paloma with grapefruit soda and lime also takes a salted rim well, and a simple tequila and soda with lime needs only the wedge. Use a rocks glass or a stemless margarita glass for the rimmed drinks, and a highball for the paloma. Hand wash it and dry it completely before refilling, especially if you store salt or sugar, which clump when damp. Any jar that has held strongly scented garnishes should be washed well before it holds something else.
