#Pro Tips from Baza

** Infuse Your Rim Salt with Hibiscus ** For a unique twist on the traditional salted rim, blend fine sea salt with powdered dried hibiscus flowers. The hibiscus powder will add a subtle floral flavor and a striking pink hue to the rim, enhancing both the flavor profile and visual appeal of your margarita. Simply pulse the hibiscus flowers in a spice grinder until finely ground, mix with salt, and use it to rim your glass.

** Use High-Quality Orange Liqueur ** To truly enhance the depth of flavor in your Hibiscus Margarita, opt for a high-quality orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau over cheaper alternatives. These liqueurs use real orange essence and have a smoother, more refined flavor that complements the tangy lime and floral hibiscus beautifully.

** Chill Your Glassware ** Before serving, chill your glasses in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. A cold glass will keep your margarita chilled longer and provide a refreshing contrast to the warm, floral notes of the hibiscus. This step is especially beneficial if you’re serving the drink on a warm day or at an outdoor gathering.
