Servings 12
Ingredients
- 4 ounces simple sugar (use simple syrup recipe below)
- 2 teaspoons Li Hing Mui powder
- 4 ounces of fresh squeezed lime juice
- 3 and 1/2 ounces tequila
- 3 teaspoons Grand Marnier or Orange Liqueur (for this recipe I used Grand Marnier)
- 1/2 cup club soda
- Sugar or salt for rim of the drinking glasses
- Slices of lime for garnish
Instructions
- Directions:
- Mix all ingredients together, and stir.
- Spread the salt or sugar evenly onto a plate.
- Use one of the squeezed lime wedges to moisten the rim of the desired serving glasses.
- Then, place the serving glass upside down into the plate of salt or sugar making sure that the rim of the glass is coated with the sugar or salt (I like a lot of sugar so I twist the glasses around in the sugar a few times to give me a thick sugar rim).
- Serve the drink over ice.
- Garnish the rim of the glasses with lime wedges and placed some sliced limes in each glass.
