isolation cocktail – hibiscus margarita

I haven’t been inside a grocery store for a month. Therefore, digging into the back of the pantry for treasure can yield unexpected gold. Those Starbucks Very Berry Hibiscus packets tucked away for a hot summer day make a rosy mixer when your are low on citrus for your margarita or rum punch. This time we made our isolation cocktail – hibiscus margarita. I found six packets, so I have six opportunities to concoct something new. I’m seeing pink everywhere.
