Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
  • 1 cup tequila of choice
  • 1/2 cup triple sec

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and hibiscus flowers. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring it to the fridge to chill.
  • Once the hibiscus simple syrup has chilled, strain it through a fine mesh strainer and then return to the fridge until you are ready to use.
  • To a high-powered blender, add the hibiscus simple syrup, tequila, triple sec, IPA, lime juice, tart cherries and ice. Blend until slushy.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges and salt or sugar rims. Enjoy!
