Unleash your inner bartender

Ever found yourself halfway through a margarita and wishing for more salt on the rim? Tim McCaffery's wife used to, so he invented an easy way to salt the rim

that doesn't require turning a glass upside down on a plateful of salt.

Tim's handheld Barmaid device glides around the rim of a cocktail glass and dispenses any spice you like. There's a button that lets you control how much goes on the rim, so you can make salted margaritas and sugared mojitos just the way your guests like them.

But the party fun doesn't stop there. Tim's company, called Lime Tree Cove, also makes its own cocktail sugars and spices. Just think what some spicy chili cocktail salt will do for your Bloody Marys. Or, you can add zest to a martini or lemonade (the spices are for nonalcoholic drinks, too) with his fresh lemon cocktail sugar. And a coat of chocolate raspberry sugar on your pina colada? Sweet decadence. Lime Tree Cove's spices are all natural, with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Cheers!
