Notes
Dulce de leche cream liqueur: You should be able to find this specialty ingredient in your local liquor store. We love the Kamora brand for this cocktail, since it’s made with real tequila.
Salted dulce de leche rim: Grab a jar of dulce de leche at the store or make it yourself with a can of condensed milk. Flaky or coarse sea salt works best for added texture and flavor! Make sure to warm up the dulce de leche before rimming the glass so it's easy to paint, and so that the salt sticks. To add sea salt to the rim, hold the glass horizontally over a plate and sprinkle the salt over the dulce de leche.
Straining cocktails: Use a Hawthorne strainer for an ultra smooth texture. This type of strainer prevents even small ice shards from passing through into your drink.
Serving suggestions: This is the perfect dessert drink for Valentine's Day, date nights at home, and girls' nights!
