The origin of the Margarita cocktail is shrouded in mystery, but it is known to have emerged in the 1930s or 1940s. The Margarita, with its simple yet refreshing combination of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, has become a timeless classic. But the Hibiscus Margarita adds an engaging twist to this classic recipe by incorporating an infusion of dried hibiscus flowers.
Making a Hibiscus Margarita is not difficult. In addition to the hibiscus infusion, the usual ingredients for a Margarita are needed, including tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur such as Cointreau. The process involves mixing these ingredients with the infusion and serving it in a salt-rimmed glass, garnished with a lime wedge and dried hibiscus flowers.
