Ingredients
- 3 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce Grand Marnier or Cointreau
- 3 ounces hibiscus simple syrup
- 2 ounces lime juice
- Kosher salt, sugar, and lime wedge for salting glasses if desired
- Lime wedges or wheels to garnish
Instructions
- If you like to salt the rim of your glass, combine 1 teaspoon of salt with 1 teaspoon of sugar and add to a saucer wider than your glasses. Make a rough circle with the spices.
- Prepare your cocktail glasses by running a lime wedge around the rim of the glasses, then dipping the rims into the sugar-salt mixture.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add tequila, Grand Marnier, hibiscus simple syrup, and lime juice.
- Shake well so that the outside of the shaker becomes quite cold, then strain into the prepared glasses.
- Serve each drink with a slice of lime for a garnish.
Notes
If you prefer your margaritas on the rocks, this recipe is perfect. Just fill your cocktail glass with ice before pouring in the cocktail. Or, throw it in the blender with ice and make a frozen hibiscus margarita! Super refreshing.
More flavors: You might add some crushed jalapeño slices or even habanero for heat, or add another type of juice, like pineapple, grapefruit, or mango. Try adding fresh herbs too, like basil, thyme, or mint. Fresh ginger would be another excellent pairing.
