HIBISCUS POMEGRANATE MARGARITA
This hibiscus pomegranate margarita recipe is a lovely twist on the classic margarita and boy is it delicious! It’s a combination of sweet homemade syrup and tangy pomegranate juice.
As well, it looks beautiful any time of the year, especially during the holidays because of its gorgeous, rich red color.
INGREDIENTS
The key to this cocktail is the Hibiscus Pomegranate syrup. You’ll heat hibiscus flowers in pomegranate juice and sugar. Hibiscus reacts similarly to tea and flavors the pomegranate juice. Sugar sweetens it.
- Hibiscus flowers. You can get them here at Walmart or Amazon.
- Pomegranate juice. Look for 100% fresh pomegranate juice. I like this brand.
- Sugar
For the cocktail
- Hibiscus pomegranate syrup (using the recipe above)
- Tequila. I prefer Blanco or silver tequila for this margarita. I like Casamigos Blanco, Fortaleza Blanco, 123 Organic Blanco Tequila, Don Abraham Organic Blanco, and better know tequilas, Don Julio Blanco and Patron Silver. You can use silver, Blanco, or white tequila of your choice.
- Freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Triple sec.
- Personally, I think garnishes on cocktails elevate them. Garnish this margarita is a rosemary sprig, hibiscus flowers, or pomegranate arils.
WHAT IS TRIPLE SEC?
Triple sec is an orange-flavored liqueur made from dried orange peels. You can drink it neat as an after-dinner treat, but it’s usually added to margaritas, cosmopolitans, sidecars, and other mixed drinks.
WHAT CAN I SUBSTITUTE FOR TRIPLE SEC?
- Cointreau is a balance between sweet and bitter. It’s higher quality than Triple Sec and is great in margaritas.
- Grand Marnier is a French orange liqueur that blends Cognac, bitter orange, and sugar.
- Orange Curacao is a liqueur flavored with a dried peel of bitter orange.
