How to Rim a Glass with Salt or Sugar?
MOREMastering the Art of Rimming Glasses Creatively
Step 1: Choose the Right Glass
Select
a glass appropriate for the cocktail. Commonly rimmed glasses include
margarita glasses for salt rims and martini glasses for sugar rims.
Step 2: Prepare the Rim
Wet
the rim of the glass with a lime or lemon wedge for salt rims, or
simple syrup for sugar rims. Ensure an even coating without excess
liquid.
Step 3: Spread Salt or Sugar
Pour salt or sugar
onto a flat, clean surface. Gently roll the wet rim of the glass into
the salt or sugar, ensuring an even coat. Tilt and rotate the glass for
full coverage.
Step 4: Tap Off Excess
Hold the glass upside down and tap it lightly to remove any excess salt or sugar. This prevents an overly thick or uneven rim.
Step 5: Chill or Set
For
cocktails served over ice, place the glass in the freezer for a few
minutes to set the rim. For warm cocktails, the rim is ready for use.

Gin
Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage that has it's origin in medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across Europe. The historical Gin producing regions are Southern France, Flanders and Netherlands. Gin was originally created to provide aqua vitae from grape and grain distillates.
During the Middle ages, the newly found substance Ethanol was considered by Alchemists to be the water of life, and an aqueous solution of ethanol was in use all over Europe and had different names and is literally the origin of many spirits like Whisky ( from the Gaelic uisce beatha for water of life ). Today Gin is produces from a wide range of ingredients, which gave rise to numerous distinct styles and brands. The predominant flavour of Gin is from the Juniper berries and then each different distillery flavours it further with an assortment of botanicas or herbs, spices, floral and fruit flavours, in different combinations. Gin is commonly drank mixed with Tonic water but it is also often used as a base spirit for many gin based flavoured liqueurs like Sloe Gin.Dry Vermouth
Vermouth the French for German Wermut, Wormwood in English, is an aromatic fortified Wine, flavoured with various botanicals like roots, barks, flowers, herbs, seeds and spices.
Although traditionally Vermouth was used for medicinal purposes, it has been also served as an apéritif in its modern avatar. The modern Vermouth first appeared in and around the 18th Century in Turin. By the late 19th Century it became very popular with bartenders as a key ingredient in cocktail mixology.
Martini, Manhattan, Rob Roy and Negroni were a few cocktails that Vermouth grew in popularity with. But later during the 20th Century, Vermouth slowly lost its glory and Dry Martinis and extra Dry Martinis with little or no Vermouth gained over the original Martini. Modern Martinis usually have a splash of Vermouth to add that herbacious texture to it.
Historically, there have been two Vermouth types, Dry and Sweet, but with demand variations have come up now. that include extra-dry white, sweet white, red, amber and rose.
Vermouth is produced by adding proprietory mixture of aromatic botanicals to a base wine or a base wine plus spirit or spirit only, which is usually redistilled before adding it to a base of neutral grape wine or unfermented wine must ( freshly pressed grapes and the juice ). After the wine is aromatised and fortified. it is sweetened and the end product is a Vermouth.
Dry Vermouth is what makes the character of the original Martini, and a Dry Vermouth has less sugar and is more herbacious but less spicier than Sweet Vermouth.Jagermeister
