5-Ingredient Hibiscus Margaritas

It’s becoming no secret that I have a thing for tequila (exhibit a, b, and c).

Though wine still holds a special place in my heart, margaritas may just be my favorite drink. So it’s no wonder I keep dreaming up new flavor combinations.

This particular recipe was inspired by a trip to visit friends in D.C. last summer. We went to a bottomless brunch (yes, all you can eat and drink!) at a Mexican restaurant where they served boozy hibiscus agua fresca.

Oh dear – so good. I couldn’t shake the tart, sweet, refreshing beverage from my mind. I had to recreate it. This is my spin.

This drink starts out with the hibiscus tea concentrate made from hibiscus tea, water and your sweetener of choice.

The whole process is quick and painless and yields a gorgeous, deep magenta hibiscus tea concentrate perfect for adding a floral, tart-sweet punch to your favorite cocktails.

The best part about this cocktail besides the fact that it’s tea based and practically health food? THE COLOR.

Can we say happy valentine’s day? Hello hot pink goodness.

I’m just spilling all my secrets today.

Hi. My name’s Dana and I love tequila, hot pink, and all the chocolate.

This margarita is what dreams are made of. It’s:

Tart
Perfectly sweet
Floral
Cold
Refreshing
Boozy
& So delicious

Share this drink with friends over tacos on Mexican night – that’s what I did (you’re welcome, friends). Or, mix one up for your favorite Valentine. They’ll be sure to love you forever. Tequila seems to have that effect on people (wink, wink). Cheers, friends!

Strawberry Hibiscus Ginger Margarita.

Strawberry Hibiscus Ginger Margarita. Fresh strawberries, sweet hibiscus tea, spicy ginger, and a good splash of tequila. Super easy, refreshing, a touch sweet, and extra pretty too. The perfect weekend drink to enjoy in both the spring and summer months!

I’ve decided that I have the most fun when creating and photographing new drink recipes. I put so much less pressure on myself to make them “perfect”. With everyday recipes…like my quick weeknight dinners, or sweet desserts…my main concerns revolve around creating a recipe that’s delicious, approachable, and healthy…ish. It can be hard to know just what everyone is looking for. But with drinks, I just let go of all that and have fun! I don’t really worry about how many of you will make it, or if you’ll find the recipe a little too weird or out there. Of course I want you guys to LOVE my cocktails, but I also know that they are not for everyone. They’re really just meant to be fun. If you love it, amazing. If not, I’ll probably be sharing another one in the future that hopefully you will love.

I guess the point is, I really have so much fun developing new cocktail recipes!

Which brings me to today’s margarita. This is not your traditional sugar-filled margarita, it’s definitely very different. But you guys?

It’s so pretty, so fun to make, and most importantly…SO GOOD!

Cinco de Mayo is just a week away, so I knew we all needed a fun drink to celebrate.

While this isn’t traditional, it does involve some fun flavors, like hibiscus tea, which is actually very common in Mexico.

This margarita is a simple mix of fresh strawberries, sweet hibiscus tea, zingy orange, tequila, and lots of lime. I like to keep the sugar content very LOW with my drinks. This margarita is only lightly sweetened with a touch of honey and a splash of ginger beer. In my world, sugary cocktails are no bueno. A sugar hangover is the absolute worst. Plus, I like to save my sugar intake for layer cakes…

I also like to top my margs off with a splash of ginger beer. I just love a little sparkly and the kick that the ginger gives off. Garnish your margarita with fresh limes, strawberries, hibiscus flowers, or a mix. You will have the prettiest, most refreshing…and certainly the most delicious, margarita. My kind of drink!

Hibiscus Margarita

Hibiscus Margaritas are so refreshing and a perfect balance of sweet & sour. Made with hibiscus tea concentrate, grapefruit juice and tequila. The ingredients are simple, but the taste is amazing!

Coffee is a necessity for me in the morning, but it only takes a little of it for me to feel the effects. So, after my one cup, I make the switch to tea, or I just sip on some homemade bone broth. Regardless, I always need a warm cup of something in my hands at the office because I run on the cold side – aka, my toes are always ice cubes and I have constant goosebumps.

The only teas I’ll drink though are the fruity ones – like raspberry or lemon. (PS – I just spotted these teas on Amazon – They sound really yummy too!) But my all time favorite is hibiscus tea. It’s got such a great tang to it, and I love that bright pink color. I’ll normally doctor it up with a bit of honey and a squeeze of fresh lemon if I’ve got some citrus in the fridge. Yesterday, I was fixing a cup and although I didn’t have any lemon on hand, I did have some grapefruit leftover from making these margaritas. So, it got me thinking…

Why not use that hibiscus tea in a cocktail?

This past summer, I took a cocktail class focused on spiked tea cocktails. We learned a bunch of techniques for incorporating tea into spirits, but one of my favorite techniques, and honestly the easiest, is to make a tea concentrate. Technically, you’re just steeping a bunch of tea bags in a relatively small amount of water. Simple.

So, for these hibiscus margaritas, I steeped five tea bags in a cup of hot water and then just let that cool. Remove the tea bags and you’re left with about a cup of concentrate which will make four margaritas. I used 2 ounces of hibiscus tea concentrate in each margarita, combined with equal parts tequila and grapefruit juice, which makes measuring super simple.

I like to serve these hibiscus margaritas in salt-rimmed glasses, but if you prefer no salt, you can definitely omit this step. Or, you can rim your margarita in other ways too.

How to Rim Hibiscus Margarita:

• Use sugar instead of salt.
• Rim your glasses with this homemade citrus salt.
• Combine kosher salt with a bit of chili powder to give your margaritas a spicy kick.

Tip for Making Hibiscus Margarita:

• Use the lid of your cocktail shaker to get the seeds out of your grapefruit juice. Invert lid on top of cocktail shaker and squeeze grapefruit directly into lid, using it as a strainer.

I hope you enjoy these hibiscus margaritas as much as I did! If you try them, snap a shot and share it with me on Instagram using the hashtag #platingsandpairings.
