Hibiscus Margarita Recipe
Description
The Hibiscus Margarita features a homemade hibiscus simple syrup prepared by boiling water and honey (or sugar), then steeping dried hibiscus flowers until cooled. Straining the syrup removes the petals, leaving a vibrant, fragrant sweetener.
This syrup combines with white tequila and fresh lime juice, shaken with ice, to create a margarita with a unique floral twist. The glass rim is moistened and dipped in hibiscus sea salt for an added layer of flavor and texture. A dried hibiscus flower can garnish the drink for visual appeal.
Ideal for cocktail gatherings, this margarita offers a balance of tart citrus, sweet floral notes, and tequila warmth. The syrup can be made in advance and stored refrigerated for up to a month, allowing quick cocktail preparation.
Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup to taste. Serve chilled over ice for a refreshing experience.
Ingredients
- salt we love using hibiscus sea salt!, for the rim
- 2 ounces white tequila
- 1 ounce lime juice fresh is best!
- ¾ ounce hibiscus simple syrup recipe below
Hibiscus Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup honey or granulated sugar
- 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
Instructions
- Begin by making the hibiscus syrup. Bring the water and honey (or sugar) to a boil over high heat. Remove the pot from the heat, add the hibiscus flowers, and stir well. Let it steep until it's cool - at least 30 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve before using it.
- Wet the rim of a glass with a cut piece of lime and then dip it into rim salt. Fill the glass with ice.
- Add a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker or glass jar then add the tequila, lime juice, and hibiscus simple syrup.
- Stir until it's cold and then pour it into your glass. Garnish with a dried hibiscus flower, if you'd like.
Notes
- The hibiscus simple syrup yields enough for about 10 cocktails and can be refrigerated up to one month.
- Add extra syrup to increase the margarita's sweetness if desired.
