Ingredients required
Below is the ingredients list and possible substitutions. The exact ingredient amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Dried Hibiscus flowers give this no-alcohol margarita a fruity, floral taste. Orange juice – Its sweetness balance the hibiscus’s tartness. Make sure to use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor. Freshly squeezed orange juice provides a brighter, more robust flavor compared to store-bought varieties. Sugar – I have used granulated sugar. Mint – for the garnish. It also adds herbaceous flavor to this drink. Club soda or sparkling water. Salt, chili powder, and lemon wedge to rim the glasses.

Step-by-step process
Make hibiscus simple syrup
In a saucepan, take water, sugar, and dry hibiscus flowers and bring that to a boil for 2 minutes. Let it boil on high flame for 5 to 6 minutes. Switch off the flame. Allow the mixture to cool and steep for at least 1 hour. Once cool, strain the solids from the liquid and discard the solids. Place the syrup in a sealable bottle or jar.
Let’s make Hibiscus Margarita.
If you like to salt the rim of your glass, take one teaspoon of salt and add to a saucer wider than your glasses. You can also add 1 teaspoon chili powder if you want a spice kick in your drink. Prepare Mocktail 11 8oz. Glasses by running a lime wedge around the rim of the glasses, then dipping the edges into the salt. Add some ice cubs to the salt-rimmed glass, pour the 2 tablespoon hibiscus flower simple syrup, and add 2 tablespoon orange juice in each glass. Add around ¼ cup of sparkling water or club soda and garnish it with mint leaves. No-alcohol Hibiscus Margarita is ready to enjoy! Tip – Take hibiscus syrup, orange juice, ice cubes, and mint leaves in a punch bowl or any beverage dispenser to make this for the crowd. Add club soda, sparkling water, sprite, or ginger ale when you are ready to serve.
What other flavors go well with a hibiscus margarita?
Strawberry – a strawberry hibiscus margarita is a delicious variation of this Mocktail. Add strawberry puree to the simple syrup. Raspberry – Another delicious berry option, one that will further the tart taste of this beverage. Ginger: Add some fresh ginger to your homemade hibiscus syrup to give your margarita a spicy-ginger kick. It’s a great way to add a unique and delicious flavor to your drink. Jalapeno – To give a spicy kick, add some crushed jalapeño slices or even habanero for heat. Herbs: Try adding fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or sage.
Notes and Tips
Make a large batch of hibiscus simple syrup by adjusting the serving size. Because you’ll need to chill hibiscus simple syrup, you’ll need to make them at least a few hours early. They are stored well in the fridge, so you can make them the night before. I like serving these hibiscus margaritas in salt-rimmed glasses, but you can omit this step if you prefer no salt. Or, you can rim your margarita in other ways, too. Please add club soda or sparkling water at the time of serving. Serving size will vary depending on the size of the glass.
