Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Lychee syrup (from canned lychee)
- 3 pieces Lychee fruit (fresh or canned)
- 2 ounces Tequila
- 1 ounce Orange liqueur (e.g., Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- 1 ounce Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Coarse salt (for rim, optional)
- 1 piece Lime wedge (for garnish)
- 1 piece Lychee fruit (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
If using a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass. Dip the rim into a plate of coarse salt and set the glass aside to dry.
In a cocktail shaker, add the lychee syrup, fresh lychee fruit, tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, then securely close the lid and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until well-chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass filled with ice (optional) using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lychee pulp.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the glass rim and a whole lychee fruit if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical Lychee Margarita!
