Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounces white tequila
  • ½ ounce Triple Sec or Cointreau
  • Juice of 1 lime divided (you will need ½ for the actual drink and ½ for rimming the glass)
  • 1 ounce sweet-and-sour I prefer Sonoma Syrup’s Five Citrus Sweet & Sour
  • 1 ounce pineapple juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon li hing mui powder plus ½ - 1 teaspoon more for rimming the glass

Instructions

  • Combine tequila, orange liqueur, juice of ½ of a lime, sweet-and-sour, pineapple juice and 1/4 teaspoon li hing mui powder in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Using two small bread plates, squeeze juice from the other ½ of the lime on one and ½ - 1 teaspoon of li hing mui powder on the other. Take margarita glass and dip in lime juice first, then dip in li hing mui powder. Set aside.
  • Shake ingredients in the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 30 seconds, then pour into rimmed margarita glass. Garnish with a lime wedge or li hing mui-covered pineapple chunk, if desired.
