Aunty Lei's Maui-RitaIn honor of my Grandmother Leilani, who everyone called "Aunty Lei"
Traditional Island Blend: Pineapple • Lime • Lemon • Li Hing Mui Seed
Makes 8-10 cocktails
Discover the authentic taste of Hawaii with this unique margarita infusion featuring Li Hing Mui - the legendary "traveling plum" that journeyed from China to the islands over 100 years ago. This treasured preserved plum seed delivers the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tart flavors that have captivated locals for generations.
Just as families once gathered at neighborhood crack seed stores to select the finest seeds from rows of glass jars, Aunty Lei's Maui-Rita brings that same authentic island experience to your glass. The distinctive Li Hing Mui complexity pairs beautifully with tropical pineapple and zesty citrus, creating a local favorite now celebrated in restaurants throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
