Equipment

Ingredients

Rim Mix

  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Garnish

  • Lychees

Instructions

  • On a small plate, mix the salt and smoked paprika for the rim.
  • Rub a lemon wedge around a quarter of the glass rim, then dip that section into the salt mixture.
  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add lychee jalapeño syrup, lychee juice, lemon juice, and tequila.
  • Shake well for 15–20 seconds until thoroughly chilled.
  • Strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice.
  • Garnish with lychees.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Adjust the jalapeño level in the syrup to control the spice.
  • If lychee juice is overly sweet, cut it with a splash of water or extra lemon juice.
  • Use a quarter-rim so guests can choose to sip with or without the smoky salt.
