Classic Margarita:
Run a lime wedge around the edges of two whiskey (rocks) glasses, and dip them on the salt. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker combine tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake until completely chilled.
All together: Unmold 4 XL ice cubes, and place in the prepared glasses. Pour classic margarita over the hibiscus ice and serve.
