Frozen Zobo Lime Margarita Instructions Frozen Zobo Lime Margarita: In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine the water, sugar, and dried hibiscus flowers. Heat until right before boiling, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a bowl and let cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Strain the liquid through a sieve and discard the dried hibiscus. Deep blackcurrant extracts of zobo blended with lime juice and a generous splash of TQ makes this cocktail a late-night winner.
