Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make one Hibiscus Tequila Delight:
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 1 oz hibiscus syrup
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 3-4 mint leaves
- Club soda
- Ice
- Lime wheel and mint sprig for garnish
The hibiscus syrup can be store-bought or homemade. To make it at home, steep dried hibiscus flowers in hot simple syrup for 30 minutes, then strain.
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Hibiscus Tequila Delight:
- Add mint leaves to the shaker and muddle gently.
- Pour in tequila, hibiscus syrup, and lime juice.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.
- Top with club soda.

Notes
This recipe can be easily adjusted to suit your taste. For a stronger hibiscus flavor, add more syrup. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the syrup and increase the lime juice.
You can make a large batch for parties by multiplying the ingredients. Just add the club soda individually to each glass when serving.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the tequila with more club soda or a citrus-flavored sparkling water.
