First, gather all the ingredients to create the hibiscus coconut margarita. You will need tequila, triple sec, lime juice, cream of coconut, hibiscus syrup, salt, ice cubes, and edible flowers for garnish. If you prefer a salt-rimmed glass, moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and dip in salt. Set aside to dry.

Combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, hibiscus syrup, and cream of coconut in a cocktail shaker. Ensure that you use freshly squeezed lime juice to achieve the perfect combination of sweet and sour. Add ice to the shaker until it is about three-quarters full. Shake well for about 20-30 seconds until it is well-chilled.

Fill your prepared glass with ice and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass. Garnish with a lime wheel and fresh hibiscus flowers to create a tropical vibe!

How To Make The Hibiscus Syrup

You will need these ingredients:

1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

And then follow these instructions:

To make the hibiscus syrup, you will need dried hibiscus flowers, sugar, and water. Start by combining sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and add the dried hibiscus flowers. Let the flowers steep in the hot syrup for around 15-20 minutes.

After steeping, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof container, pressing the flowers to extract as much syrup as possible. You can store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to a month.
