If you're ever having a get together and want to serve a cocktail that's 1) easy to put together 2) looks sophisticated 3) tastes delicious --- then go with the hibiscus margarita. I made up a batch to take with me to a friend's last night and the jewel-tones of the hibiscus syrup were absolutely gorgeous! Had I more time I think I would have picked up some cute flowers to garnish the drinks.
