El Rey Hibiscus Silver Tequila
El Rey Hibiscus Silver Tequila blends the brand's silver tequila with natural hibiscus blossom — "balancing the tartness of lemons with the sweetness of berries," in the brand's own words, for a floral, sweet-tart pour. Bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) in 750mL from the Cascahuín distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, it's one of the three signature natural flavors in the El Rey line. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Floral, Tart, and Unmistakably El Rey
Hibiscus is the most cocktail-adjacent of the El Rey flavors — floral sweetness riding over the mineral agave base, finishing sweet-tart and long. Like its strawberry and pineapple-coconut siblings, it starts life as the same 100% blue-agave silver from the 1904 Cascahuín distillery. Explore more from El Rey or browse tequila.
Tasting Notes
Brand/retailer copy: floral sweetness over mineral-based agave on the nose; classic agave character with a sweet-tart finish on the palate; long and rich.
How to Enjoy
Over ice with lemon, or as a Hibiscus Margarita with lime and a salted rim. The floral notes also play well with grapefruit soda.
