About

Agua de jamaica, or hibiscus punch, is one of the most ubiquitous drinks found all across Mexico. Dried hibiscus flowers are steeped in hot water then cooled to produce a vibrant, ruby-hued concentrate that’s diluted with water and sweetened with sugar. This version spiked with 400 Conejos Espadín-Tobalá mezcal is a smoky spirit that’ll keep you warm far beyond winter.
