Pochteca Hibiscus is a hibiscus flower liqueur made with tequila, bottled at 18% ABV. Pochteca liqueurs are made with 100% agave tequila and agave nectar.
The hibiscus flower, beloved in Mexico as agua de jamaica, echoes both citrus and berry flavours.
The result is a balanced, refreshing liqueur with tart hibiscus, red berry and bright citrus over the gentle agave of tequila.
It is excellent chilled and served on its own, and highly mixable as a cocktail component.
Its rounded bottle with a hand-tied neck and colourful label makes it a cheerful gift for anyone who loves tequila, bright flavours and summer entertaining.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Pochteca Hibiscus well chilled over ice, or top it with soda water and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing hibiscus highball. It makes a vibrant hibiscus margarita shaken with tequila and fresh lime, a ruby Paloma topped with grapefruit soda, or a sparkling spritz with prosecco. Try it in a pitcher with lemonade, sliced limes and fresh mint for a party punch. Pair it with tacos, ceviche, guacamole and spicy dishes, or drizzle it over fruit salad or vanilla ice cream. In summer, blend it with ice, strawberries and lime for a frozen hibiscus treat, or add a splash to iced tea for a refreshing afternoon drink. Its deep ruby colour makes every cocktail look festive, and it is lovely at brunch topped with sparkling wine. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
