Li Hing mui powder is made from salty dried plums and tastes amazing. Adding this to the rim of the glass instead of salt gives a nice twist to an absolute classic cocktail.
Serves 1
– 1 lime wedge
– 2 tbsp Li Hing mui powder
– 2 tbsp demerara sugar
– handful of ice
– 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
– 2 tbsp Cointreau or triple sec
– 60 ml (2 fl oz/¼ cup) good-quality tequila
– 1 lemon slice
Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a martini glass.
Mix the li hing mui and sugar on a small plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the mixture and twist to coat.
Put the ice, lime juice, Cointreau or triple sec and tequila into a cocktail shaker. Give it a good hula shake. Strain the cocktail into the martini glass. Garnish with a lemon slice and drink up!
