Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon course sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or course sugar
- 2 hibiscus tea bags You can use Celestial Seasonings Wild Berry Tea
- 1 cup warm water
- Sweetener: Sugar Truvia, or Agave
- Zest of one orange
- 1-2 oz tequila
- 1 oz vodka
- ½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¼ cup ice
Instructions
- Prepare the Sugar and Salt Spice Blend by combing the coarse sea salt, the coconut sugar, and the contents of one of the hibiscus tea bags on a plate. Stir to combine. Rub your glasses with a wedge of lime, and then dip each in the Sugar and Salt Spice Blend. Store them in the fridge to chill while you take the following steps.
- Place the warm water in a mug and add the remaining hibiscus tea bag. Add the orange zest. Allow to steep for about 5 minutes, until the water has transformed into a deep shade of red.
- In the meantime, add the tequila, vodka, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker and shake it to stir. Add optional sweetener here, such as agave, maple syrup, or zero-calorie sweetener. If using granulated sugar, stir it in with the lemon juice so it dissolves.
- When the tea is ready and has cooled, use a fine-mesh strainer to strain it into the cocktail shaker. Add the ice and shake it to stir. Pour into prepared glasses, adding additional ice as needed.
