1. A drinkware rimming apparatus, comprising:
a first tray having a first spice receptacle and a second receptacle; a second tray positioned above the first tray; the second tray having a third spice receptacle, a fourth spice receptacle and an access cutout; and the first tray and/or the second tray being rotatable relative to the other and about a vertical axis passing through the first and second trays so that the access cutout is in an operative position over the first spice receptacle, the second receptacle or another desired portion of the first tray, wherein both of the first and second trays have respective ramping structures that operatively interact with each other during the rotational movement to cause the second tray to lift and drop between two indexed positions by rotational movement of at least one of the first and second trays relative to the other.
