Hibiscus & Lemon Cocktail
Hibiscus tea is fantastic in cocktails. Like cranberry juice or rose hips, it’s naturally sweet and a little tart, but it also has a lovely dry astringency and very light floral notes. And then, of course, there’s the deep crimson red of its petals — everything the tea touches turns to punch.
