We love a good margarita moment—but sometimes, you want all the zesty, floral fun without the booze. Enter: the Virgin Hibiscus Lavender Margarita, a dreamy, citrusy mocktail that’s tart, refreshing, and kissed with botanicals.
This zero-proof twist on a classic cocktail uses our Hibiscus Lavender tea as the star ingredient, bringing vibrant color, tangy depth, and just the right touch of floral sophistication. Think spa day meets summer fiesta. Yes, please.
Why Hibiscus + Lavender?
Hibiscus is naturally tart and vibrant—like cranberry, but smoother—while lavender adds a soft floral note that feels elevated and calming. Together, they’re basically a botanical power couple.
We steep this duo into a concentrated tea that replaces the usual alcohol and gives the drink a rich magenta hue that’s absolutely stunning in a glass. Pair it with fresh lime and orange juice, a splash of honey simple syrup, and you’ve got a margarita mocktail that feels as festive as the real thing.
🌸 Virgin Hibiscus Lavender Margarita Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup strongly brewed Hibiscus Lavender tea, cooled
- 2 oz fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1 oz fresh orange juice
- 1 oz honey simple syrup (or agave)
- Ice
- Optional: pinch of sea salt or a salted rim
- Garnish: lime wedge, lavender sprig, or edible flowers
- Directions:
- Steep your tea: Brew 2 teaspoons of Hibiscus Lavender tea in 1 cup of hot water. Let it steep for 10–15 minutes for bold flavor, then cool it completely.
- Build your mocktail: In a cocktail shaker, add the cooled tea, lime juice, orange juice, and honey syrup. Fill with ice and shake it like you mean it.
- Serve: Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. Salt the rim first if you’re feeling fancy.
- Garnish: Top it off with a lime wedge, a sprig of lavender, or a few dried hibiscus petals.
Pro Tip:
Make a big batch for your next picnic, bridal shower, or weeknight wind-down. Want it fizzy? Add a splash of sparkling water before serving. Want it spicy? Muddle a slice of jalapeño in the shaker. 🌶️
Whether you're skipping alcohol or just looking for something a little different, this floral margarita mocktail is a delicious reminder that tea can be the most magical mixer on your bar cart.
