Spicy Hibiscus Margarita (Easy Recipe)
There are two things that I’ve been indulging in like crazy over the last few weeks with the holidays upon us: margaritas and hibiscus. It may sound like an odd combination, but don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried my signature spicy hibiscus margarita!
The first step to making this margarita recipe is to prepare a homemade hibiscus simple syrup mixture. Not to worry as it’s super easy to make. You’ll just need one cup each of water, sugar, and dried hibiscus flower.
Follow the directions in the recipe below for making the syrup, and then you’ll be able to add the finished syrup in with the tequila, fresh squeezed lime juice, and Cointreau. Shake them all together in a cocktail shaker filled with ice to finish things off and then get ready to enjoy an all-time great margarita.
