Equipment
- Knife and cutting board (optional - if using a fresh lime)

- Cocktail pick (optional - for lychee garnish)

- salt (I used Himalayan pink salt)
Cocktail
- 1½ ounces tequila blanco
- 1 ounce lime juice
- ¾ ounces lychee liqueur

Instructions
Garnishes (optional)
- Wet the rim of your cocktail glass using either a cut lime or some water.
- Dip the rim of the glass into the salt. Set the glass aside.
- If you are using a fresh lime slice for garnish, cut a slit in the edge so you can attach it to the rim of the glass later.
- If you're using a whole lychee for garnish, stick a cocktail pick through the fruit. Set it aside along with the lime slice.
Cocktail
- Add the lime juice, lychee liqueur, lychee puree and tequila to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice.
- Seal up the shaker and give it about 15-20 hard shakes.
- Fill your prepared cocktail glass with ice, and then strain the drink into the glass.
- Add your lime slice garnish to the rim of the glass, along with the lychee on a cocktail pick. Serve and enjoy!
