The Hibiscus Margarita
This rosy, thirst-quenching hibiscus margarita recipe hails from Marfa, a small city in West Texas that鈥檚 renowned for its striking desert scenery and thriving artist community. At The Capri,颅 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颅 Kahlo. Barnette says that she served hibiscus tea (agua de Jamaica) to guests as an offer of friendship after a long journey.
