Hibiscus Martini

Jamaica flower against a reposado, which is a better match than it sounds: the barrel's vanilla softens the tartness the way it would soften citrus. Two dashes of spicy bitters keep it from reading as a floral drink.

5 ingredients5 minutesCoupeEdible pink orchid

Ingredients

2 oz reposado tequila
0.75 oz hibiscus syrup
0.75 oz fresh lime juice
0.5 oz agave nectar (2:1 agave to water)
2 dashes spicy bitters

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake hard until well chilled.
  3. Double strain into a chilled coupe.
  4. Float an edible pink orchid on the surface.
Panel note

Make the syrup: steep dried flor de jamaica in hot 1:1 simple for twenty minutes and strain. The tartness lives in the tea. Most bottled hibiscus syrup is sugar and dye with none of it.
