Li Hing Mui Margarita — The Cocktail

Overview

The li hing mui margarita: a standard margarita with the salt rim replaced by li hing mui powder, and li hing mui syrup added to the tequila-lime base. The sweet-sour-salty trinity of li hing mui naturally complements the tequila-lime-salt structure of a margarita — it is the same flavour architecture, amplified. This cocktail has become the signature Hawaiian bar drink, served everywhere from dive bars to resort lounges. Some versions add li hing mui-infused tequila (dried plums steeped in tequila for days).
