The Hibiscus Margarita

This rosy, thirst-quenching hibiscus margarita recipe hails from Marfa, a small city in West Texas that’s renowned for its striking desert scenery and thriving artist community. At The Capri,­ Chef Rocky Barnette harvests hibiscus blossoms grown on the property to brew for this drink, designed to pair with an intriguing pre-Columbian menu.

The cocktail also honors famed Mexican artist Frida­ Kahlo. Barnette says that she served hibiscus tea (agua de Jamaica) to guests as an offer of friendship after a long journey.
