It’s no surprise that we love a good margarita here at Sweet July. This version infuses a punch of sweet, herbaceous flavor using an unconventional ingredient, our Sweet Mornings Tea.
The combination of hibiscus flowers and elderberries is what gives this drink it’s beautiful red color and a bright floral finish. Sip on this with our Grilled Shrimp & Garden Gazpacho for the perfect summer meal.

INSTRUCTIONS
Steep two tea bags in ¾ cup of hot water for 30 minutes (or until the tea has cooled to room temperature).
