JAMAICAN MARGARITA
Hibiscus started showing up in New York City cocktails around 2010, jazzing up drinks with its fuchsia hue and tropical perfume. This one, adapted from the bar at Hecho en Dumbo in the East Village, takes advantage of jarred hibiscus syrup and top-shelf silver tequila to create a kind of Jamaican-Mexican melange. The wild hibiscus blossom specified at the end of the recipe? Entirely optional!

JAMAICA MARGARITAS
This is from Cooking Light. "Hibiscus blossoms can be found at Latin grocery stores. Boiling the blossoms in a sugar-water mixture and then steeping infuses more flavor than just steeping them in warm water. This drink is especially good when made with premium-quality tequila"
