This Hibiscus Honey Margarita pairs wonderfully with spicy dishes like tacos or enchiladas. For a themed gathering, serve it alongside ceviche or a light citrus salad. Its vibrant color and refreshing taste also make it a great choice for brunches or summer picnics.
Start by grabbing your cocktail shaker. Pour in the hibiscus syrup and add honey. Use a bar spoon or a small whisk to stir these together until the honey is fully dissolved. This step ensures that your drink will be smooth without any clumps of honey.
Next, add the silver tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur to the shaker. Toss in a handful of ice cubes—this is what will chill your drink and slightly dilute it to the perfect consistency. Secure the lid on your shaker and shake it vigorously for about 15 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when the shaker feels frosty to the touch.
Now, grab a glass and fill it with ice. Using a strainer, pour your margarita mixture into the glass. This ensures a smooth drink free of any ice shards or pulp. Finally, add a lime wheel and a hibiscus flower for that eye-catching garnish. Cheers to your new favorite cocktail!
