The hibiscus flower, or “jamaica” in Mexico, has long been used to create refreshing beverages known as “agua de jamaica.” This tart floral drink has deep roots in Mexican culture, especially in festive and warm weather celebrations. Incorporating it into a margarita gives the cocktail an added layer of flavor and color.
Margaritas, often regarded as the quintessential Mexican cocktail, were first created in the 1930s. Combining tequila, lime, and Cointreau, the drink became synonymous with Mexico’s lively spirit. The addition of hibiscus syrup adds a modern twist, celebrating the marriage of traditional ingredients with contemporary flair.
