Healthy Hibiscus Margarita

This Healthy Hibiscus Margarita blends hibiscus syrup with freshly squeezed lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur for a fruity, tangy cocktail. The tart floral notes from the hibiscus balance with the citrus and spirit, served over crushed ice. The salt- or sugar-rimmed glass adds a contrasting texture and flavor edge, enhancing the drinking experience.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons hibiscus syrup or concentrated hibiscus tea
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons tequila gold or silver, 100% agave
  • 1 tablespoon orange liqueur I used Grand Marnier
  • salt for garnish, rimmed glass and wedge of lime
  • sugar
  • lime

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If desired, first rim glass with salt or sugar. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, turning glass upside down into a plate of margarita salt or other coarse salt.
  2. Fill glass with crushed ice, then add hibiscus syrup, lime juice, tequila and grand marnier, stir to combine. If desired, garnish with a wedge of lime, hibiscus flower (rehydrated or from a syrup) and or other fresh seasonal berries.

Notes

  • Prepare a larger batch by keeping the ingredient ratios consistent and serve about half a cup over ice.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, mix one to two tablespoons of hibiscus syrup with ice and sparkling water.
  • To make Agua de Jamaica, dilute the hibiscus syrup further with water and serve chilled with ice.
