Hibiscus margaritas?! YUP. I was a bit skeptical myselfāI like hibiscus tea, but I wondered if it would mix well with tequila. Turns out, it does! Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, so I KNOW youāre celebrating either tonight or tomorrowāif youāre looking for more inspiration, be sure to check out the hashtag #margaritaweek on Instagram.Ā
Unfortunately for me, I wonāt be doing much celebrating this year. See, Miguelās running the Pittsburgh marathon tomorrow, meaning today is all about hydrating with water, not drinking alcohol. So please, have a drink for me! Iām begging you.Ā
HIBISCUS MARGARITA INGREDIENTS
- brewed hibiscus tea
- tequila
- lime juice
Yes you read that correctlyāthis margarita recipe calls for just THREE ingredients!! My fave.Ā
HOW TO MAKE HIBISCUS MARGARITAS
Buy the ingredients: Ok this is kind of obvious, but Iām guessing you maybe might not have hibiscus tea on hand? Iām not a big tea drinker, but if I had to choose hibiscus tea would be tied with chai tea as my favorite. Ā Itās slightly fruity tasting and refreshing too. Iāve tried a few different brands and theyāve all tasted similar in my opinion, so any kind you can find works in this recipe. As far as tequila goes, my favorites are Espolon and Altos Tequila.
Brew the tea: This recipe requires you to think ahead, but I swear itās worth it. Start by brewing the tea over the stovetop as you normally would, then strain it and place it in the refrigerator to cool. Once itās cool, then itāll be ready to use in margaritas.Ā
Mix it all up: Of course, the most important step is mixing everything together. I like using a cocktail shaker for this, but you can also just pour everything into a jar with a lid and mix it that way, or pour it into a bowl and whisk it really fast with a whisk (yes Iāve literally done this beforeānot ideal, but it works!).Ā
