We’ve drunk a lot of serviceable margaritas over the years. But rare is the cocktail that captures our heart and liver at first sip like Mexican Sugar’s hibiscus margarita. It’s the addition of slightly tart hibiscus water to a mix of Z Pepe reposado tequila, Velvet Falernum, Cointreau, simple syrup, and lime that balances out the margarita’s sweeter notes and also gives it a lovely ruby red color.

Mi Cocina’s Mambo Taxi—a frozen margarita swirled with sangria—is as popular as this chic homegrown chain.
