Ingredients
  

  • Tajin or salt for rim (optional)
  • 1 ½ ounces mango tequila (or blanco or silver)
  • 1 ounce triple sec
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • 1 ounce mango hibiscus simple syrup (recipe in notes section)
  • Edible flower and/or lime slice for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Optional pre-step: moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and roll in tajin or salt, if desired.
  • Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled.

Notes

Hibiscus Mango Syrup
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 bag of hibiscus tea (like Tazo Passion Tea)
  • ¼ cup mango puree*
  • 1 cup sugar
To make the syrup:
  • Heat the water to near boiling on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
  • Add the hibiscus tea bag and remove from heat. Allow tea to brew for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the mango puree and sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
  • Strain the syrup into an airtight jar or bottle. Or, you can skip the straining if you don’t mind a little mango pulp in your drink. The syrup keeps for up to 3 weeks in the fridge in an airtight container.
*Use either store-bought mango puree or make your own by pureeing chunks of fresh or frozen mango in a blender.
Batch measurements to serve 8:
  • 1 ½ cups mango tequila (or blanco)
  • 1 cup triple sec
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 1 cup mango hibiscus simple syrup
