We may not be gathering for this weekend’s Super Bowl, but that doesn’t mean you have to keep the party bland.

Do double-duty with Aloha Spice Co.’s Guava Lime Smoked Hawaiian Sea Salt—great on fish and chicken—by using this spice mix in a cocktail.

David Honma, Kōloa Rum Co. mixologist, concocted this recipe, combing the smokey sea salt—the guava wood chips are smoked for more than 20 hours—and Kōloa’s white rum for a tasty, refreshing drink—so good you won’t care who wins!
