Description
Hibiscus Raspberry Margarita made with Chambord and homemade raspberry maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
Raspberry Syrup:
- 1 1/4 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 Tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Hibiscus Raspberry Margarita:
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1/4-1/2 tsp beet powder (optional)*
- ice
- 1 1/2 oz Silver Tequila
- 1/2 oz Chambord liqueur
- 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2-3 dashes of hibiscus bitters
- 1/2 oz raspberry syrup
- sparkling water (optional)
Instructions
Raspberry Syrup:
- Add all the ingredients into a small pot, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the raspberries are cooked down and there aren't any chunks anymore.
- Using a mesh strainer, strain the syrup into a bowl to remove the seeds.
- Set aside until ready to make the cocktail. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Hibiscus Raspberry Margarita:
- Start by rimming the glass. Add the salt and beet powder to a plate or a shallow bowl, run the lime wedge around the rim of the glass or dip the rim in a shallow bowl filled with water. Dip the rim in the salt mixture and set aside until ready to serve.
- Cocktail shaker: Add the tequila, Chambord, freshly squeezed lime juice, hibiscus bitters, and raspberry syrup to a cocktail shaker, and add a few ice cubes. Close the shaker and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Fill the rimmed glass with ice, pour the cocktail over the ice, and top with sparkling water if desired. Enjoy!
- No cocktail shaker: pour all the ingredients except the ice into the glass, stir well to combine, top up with ice, sparkling water if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
*I added 1/2 tsp to about 1 tbsp of salt to make it pink. This is optional but pretty! It doesn't taste like beets.
If you don't have hibiscus bitters, use 0.5-1.5 oz chilled hibiscus tea.
