We’ve put a spring spin on the classic margarita by creating a simple syrup infused with the tangy floral flavors of hibiscus tea. Not only does this twist harmonize perfectly with the classic margarita flavors, but you are also left with a beautiful fuchsia cocktail perfect for any fiesta.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 oz Hibiscus Tea Simple Syrup
  • 2 oz Silver Tequila
  • 1/4 oz Cointreau
  • 1/2 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 2 oz Club Soda
  • Rim with Citrus Salt

Tools

  • Margarita glass
  • Citrus juicer
  • Shaker

How to Mix

  1. Measure all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake for 10 seconds.
  3. Strain mixture into a margarita glass, and top with club soda.
  4. Serve over ice in glass rimmed with citrus salt.
To make the ‘Hibiscus Tea Simple Syrup:
Combine 3/4 of a cup of loose hibiscus tea leaves, 3 cups of water, and 1.5 cups of agave into a sauce pan and bring up to a simmer until agave has dissolved. Allow syrup to cool slightly which will also give the tea additional time to steep. Once cooled pour syrup through a mesh strainer to remove the loose tea and store in an airtight container for several months if kept refrigerated.
