Pink Margarita

Pink Margarita

Love using flowers for preparing syrups and hibiscus is one of my favorites and the main ingredient that inspired this drink, let’s get this party started!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup of hibiscus syrup
• 6 limes
• Tequila blanco
• Mint sprigs, lime rounds and cherries to garnish
• Ice

Hibiscus Flowers

Preparation time: 25 minutes. Serves 4 glasses. Approximate cost per person $3.00 depending ingredients market price. Check for local market availability. You will need a boiling pan, serving cup, and nice tall glasses for serving.

For preparing the hibiscus syrup  you will need 15  hibiscus calyces, 1 ½ cups of boiling water, 1/2 cup of agave nectar, 5 teaspoons of cane sugar on the raw. Combine all and let if simmer for 20 minutes until getting a syrup consistency. The flavor should be concentrated so no worries if it tastes too sweet. Let it cool or place it in the fridge. You can prepare a day in advance this is great idea for entertaining.

Add ice to a tall glass, squeeze the juice of one lime (1 per glass), add a portion of the hibiscus syrup, top with tequila blanco and decorate with mint sprigs, lime rounds and a maraschino cherry.

Pink Margarita’s for 2!

This cocktail is definitely festive, enjoy in a day like today.

Cheers!
