Maui Cocktail Infusion Kits: Aunty Leiʻs Maui-Rita

Aunty Lei's Maui-Rita Aunty Lei's Maui-Rita Named for my Grandmother, Leilani, whom everyone called Aunty Lei. Pineapple ∙ Lime ∙ Lemon ∙ Li Hing Mui seed makes 8-10 cocktails This Maui-Rita features sweet, salty, and tart Li Hing Mui, a preserved plum seed brought to Hawaii from China over 100 years ago. Translated to mean “traveling plum”, li hing mui worked its way into local culture. As a kid, we would walk down to the Crack Seed store and choose the best-looking seeds from rows of clear glass jars. The sweet, salty, and sour flavors pair perfectly with classic Margarita flavors. Making this local cocktail a favorite in restaurants throughout the islands thanks to the “traveling plum”. Simple Preparation (8-10 servings): Add 16-20oz Tequila and Chill 1-3 days A favorite way to serve (but not the only way) Pour 2 oz Tequila infused with Aunty Lei's over ice, top with 3 oz lime flavored sparkling water, squeeze a fresh lime wedge and drop it in the drink, gently stir Enjoy!
