Sour Plum Margarita

Sour, sweet, and salty are the primary flavors of a classic margarita, but throw plum powder into the mix and make it Taiwan, where sour plum drink 酸梅湯 is a quintessential beverage to quench thirst and cool (calm?) down. This recipe replaces the traditional margarita salt rim with plum powder (which is salty) and MSG, for a big kick of old-fashioned 古早味 nostalgia.
