Print Recipe

A vibrant and refreshing hibiscus lime spritz with a spicy Tajin rim and fresh mint, perfect for warm weather and easy to make in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers or 4–5 hibiscus tea bags
  • 4 cups (1 liter) water
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, or honey/agave as alternative)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning, plus extra for rimming glasses
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups (1 liter) of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add dried hibiscus flowers or tea bags. Cover and steep for 10-15 minutes until deep ruby red.
  2. Strain the hibiscus tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, discarding solids. Let cool to room temperature (20-30 minutes).
  3. While tea is steeping, make simple syrup by dissolving 1/4 cup sugar in 1/4 cup water over medium heat. Cool before using.
  4. Juice about 2 fresh limes to get 1/4 cup lime juice, removing seeds and pulp.
  5. In the pitcher with cooled hibiscus tea, stir in lime juice, simple syrup, and a small handful of mint leaves. Gently muddle the mint to release aroma without tearing leaves.
  6. Add 1 cup sparkling water and stir gently. Add plenty of ice cubes to chill thoroughly.
  7. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into Tajin seasoning to coat edges evenly.
  8. Pour the spritz into prepared glasses, garnish with fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel or wedge. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not over-steep hibiscus to avoid bitterness; check flavor at 10 minutes. Gently muddle mint leaves to avoid grassy taste. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or alternatives like honey or agave. For a boozy version, add 1-2 oz tequila or rum. Store hibiscus-lime base (without sparkling water and ice) in fridge up to 3 days. Add sparkling water and ice just before serving.
