How to Make Miss Kim’s Lady Choi Cocktail
Ingredients
Large pinch cilantro, stems and all
1-inch chunk green lady choi, seeds and all
1 ½ oz. Añejo tequila
¾ oz. lime juice
½ oz. honey syrup*
Large scoop of ice
1 slice lady choi for garnish
*Honey Syrup
Create a five-to-one ratio of honey to boiling water. Mix boiling water into honey until combined and let cool. Store in a sealed container in your fridge.
Directions
Muddle cilantro and lady choi in your shaker. If you prefer more or less spice, you can alter the pepper amount or even omit the seeds to suit your taste. If you’re unable to come by lady choi, substitute a jalapeño or the spicy green pepper of your choice. Add all other ingredients and shake hard with ice until ice has broken into pieces (up to 20 seconds). Pour into a coupe glass and garnish with slice of lady choi. Enjoy!
