Flor de Jamaica Margarita by Cool Chile
The hibiscus syrup makes this a beautiful colour, it is cooling and refreshing and lets the flavour of the tequila come through. Look for 100% blue agave tequila it makes all the difference to your taste buds and your head the day after.
Makes 1.
50ml 100% blue agave tequila
25ml lime juice
Ice (enough to fill shaker)
25ml hibiscus syrup
For hibiscus syrup (makes approx. 250ml, leftover syrup is great drizzled over ice cream):
350ml pre-prepared flor de Jamaica
200g sugar
Firstly make the hibiscus syrup by putting the sugar and flor de Jamaica in a small sauce pan, stir, bring to the
simmer until syrupy and the bubbles look like glass (approx. half an hour). Leave to cool, then decant into a container
and refrigerate.
When ready to make the margaritas, put all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake until your hands freeze
to the metal. Pour into a glass and drink immediately!
