A Simple Table Moment
Set out a small dish of worm salt beside mezcal and fresh orange. Taste the spirit first, add a light touch of seasoning to the citrus, then compare the next sip. The contrast brings salt, chile warmth, acidity, and savory depth into the same moment.
What Is in Don Catrin Worm Salt (65 g)?
Don Catrin Worm Salt (65 g) lists: Iodized salt, dried chili powder, dehydrated maguey worm (2%), and citric acid.
Use it as a finishing seasoning rather than a base salt; a small pinch is usually enough.
Flavor at the Table
The blend works especially well when a drink or dish already includes citrus, fruit, roasted flavors, or chile. Taste as you go so the seasoning adds contrast without taking over.
From Jar to Table
Open the jar only when you are ready to season, use a clean dry utensil, and begin with a small amount.

Mezcal and Citrus
Serve worm salt on the side instead of adding it directly to neat mezcal. Lightly season an orange slice, taste it, then return to the glass. This keeps the comparison clear and gives each guest control.
Beyond Mezcal
Try a pinch on watermelon, mango, jicama, avocado, grilled vegetables, shrimp, popcorn, or a light cocktail rim. Add it at the end and taste before using more.
