Cocktail

Method

Prepare Rim

  1. 1

    Mix rim

    On a small plate combine li hing mui powder and fine sea salt. Adjust ratio to taste; standard is about 2:1 li hing mui to salt.

  2. 2

    Moisten the rim of a rocks glass with the lime wedge by running it around the glass lip. Dip the moistened rim into the li hing mui/salt mixture, twisting to coat evenly. Set glass aside with a few fresh ice cubes.

Mix Cocktail

  1. 3

    Fill a cocktail shaker with a generous handful of ice (about 3/4 cup).

  2. 4

    Add Mi Campo Blanco Tequila (2 oz), passion fruit (lilikoi) puree (1 oz), fresh lime juice (1 oz), orange liqueur (1/2 oz), and simple syrup (1/2 oz) to the shaker.

  3. 5

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold and well-chilled.

  4. 6

    Fill the prepared rocks glass with fresh ice (on the rocks). Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over the ice.

Garnish & Serve

  1. 7

    Float or place the lime wedge on the rim and optionally set half a passion fruit or a thin passion fruit wheel on top of the ice or rim for visual appeal.

  2. 8

    Serve immediately with a short cocktail stirrer or straw. Offer an extra lime wedge on the side if desired.
