Hibiscus Simple Syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup honey or granulated sugar
  • 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Wet the rim of a glass with a cut piece of lime and then dip it into rim salt. Fill the glass with ice.
  3. Add a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker or glass jar then add the tequila, lime juice, and hibiscus simple syrup.
  4. Stir until it's cold and then pour it into your glass. Garnish with a dried hibiscus flower, if you'd like.

Notes

  • The simple syrup recipe makes enough for about 10 cocktails. You can either use it immediately or store it in a clean jar in your fridge for up to a month.
