Aside from the beloved go-to Moscow mule, you really can never go wrong with a classic margarita! And boy do we drink a good amount of margaritas here in Cali!

For this Hibiscus Margarita recipe, we’re switching things up by adding a homemade hibiscus simple syrup to the mix!

Hibiscus Margaritas are fairly close to traditional margaritas. However, the hibiscus gives the drink a nice lemony tart, cranberry-like flavor and makes the color pop.

We also make a really delicious hibiscus gin sour you have to try!

Best Tequila for Margaritas

Here are a few of our favorite tequilas. You can purchase these at any beverage store and at most grocery stores. Similarly, they’re all affordable and of good quality.

Casamigos Blanco Tequila â€“ Crisp with hints of vanilla. It’s a very good tequila to sip too.

Cazodores Tequila Reposado

Espolòn Reposada Tequila Blanco or Gold

Hornitos Reposado Tequila 

El Destilador Silver Tequila â€“ Very affordable

What Does Hibiscus Taste Like?

Hibiscus is a herbal heavyweight. In addition, when the dried petals are steeped in hot (or cold) water, they release a tart, almost-cranberry-like flavor and a deep red-violet color that looks more like a cabernet than chamomile.

Top Tips For An Hibiscus Margarita

  • Make sure you shake the cocktail, don’t stir.
  • Shake the cocktail and ice until the shaker is ice cold, that’s when you know the drink is well mixed.
  • Add dried, crushed hibiscus flowers to the rimming salt.
  • Garnish with a slice of lime.

If you want this drink to be super pink, make pink ice cubes too!
