Li Hing & Garnish
Method
Prepare Li Hing Rim & Garnish
Make rim mix
In a small shallow dish, combine li hing mui powder, granulated sugar, and optional chili-lime seasoning. Stir until even.
Moisten the rim of your serving glass with a lime wedge. Dip the glass rim into the li hing/sugar mixture, twist to coat evenly. Set glass aside to dry briefly.
Prepare garnish: thread a pineapple wedge and mint sprig (if using) on a pick or set them beside the glass. Reserve a lime wedge for finishing.
Make Dole Whip Tequila Blend
Combine base ingredients
Add frozen pineapple chunks, vanilla soft-serve mix (or softened vanilla ice cream), coconut milk, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice into a high-powered blender.
Pulse briefly to break up large chunks, then blend on high until smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed. Mixture should be spoonable — like a soft-serve consistency. If too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons (30 ml) more coconut milk; if too thin, add a few more frozen pineapple chunks.
Add alcohol
Pour in Kapena tequila (and optional triple sec) and pulse 3–4 times to incorporate. Be careful not to over-blend; too much blending will thin the mixture. Taste and add a touch more simple syrup or lime juice if needed to balance sweetness and acidity.
Spoon or pipe the tequila Dole Whip into the prepared glass, creating a soft-serve swirl if possible. For a single serving, aim for about 10–12 ounces of finished volume.
Finish & Serve
Sprinkle a light pinch (about 1/8–1/4 tsp) of li hing powder on top of the Dole Whip for extra flavor and color contrast. Avoid over-sprinkling so as not to overpower the drink.
Garnish with the pineapple wedge, a lime wedge on the rim, and optional mint sprig. Serve immediately with a spoon and/or straw.
If preparing for multiple guests, scale ingredients linearly per serving, and keep tequila added to each portion individually just before serving to retain the soft-serve texture.
