This is a wonderful alternative to the well-known classic. Slightly sweeter and fruitier than the original, it’s a great cocktail to sip on pool-side or as a pre-dinner aperitif. You can make the hibiscus syrup at home with local hibiscus flowers, and then combine with fresh orange and lime juice, French orange liqueur and premium reposado tequila.

Recipe

1 ¾ oz premium reposado tequila

¾ oz Cointreau

¾ oz hibiscus syrup

1 0z freshly squeezed orange juice

Juice of half a lime

Method

Shake all ingredients and strain over ice into an old fashioned glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
