Ingredients
- 2 oz mezcal

Instructions
To make hibiscus simple syrup (can be ahead of time)
- Combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and ¼ cup dried hibiscus flowers in a small pan.

Cup of Yum
To make hibiscus mezcal sour
- Put the mezcal, lime juice and hibiscus simple syrup in a cocktail shaker along with plenty of ice. Shake for a minute until the drink is well chilled. Strain into a glass either over ice or straight up.
Notes
- You can store the hibiscus simple syrup for a week or two in the refrigerator and use in many drinks in place of regular simple syrup for a splash of color and gently floral-tart flavor.
