Hibiscus Tonic Concoction
This Hibiscus Tonic Concoction blends floral hibiscus balsamic vinegar, fresh lime, agave, and elderflower tonic for a tangy, refreshing drink. Optional mezcal adds a smoky twist, or enjoy it as a flavorful zero-proof cocktail.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Global Gardens Barbielicious Sweet Hibiscus Golden Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon agave syrup
- 2 ounces Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water
- ⅔ ounce mezcal, optional
Instructions
- This is a built drink, so put your cocktail shaker away. These instructions are for a single serving. (If necessary for a crowd, line up your glasses and add each ingredient down the production line.) As for a glass choice, it’s a smallish drink, so you can use something between a coupe and a liqueur glass—have fun with it.
- Add each ingredient directly into the glass in order. Be sure to pour in the tonic slowly, as the drink will fizz and foam up. Add the mezcal for people who want a bit of alcohol kick, but the drink works as a no-alcohol cocktail, too.
- The color is so lovely you don’t really need to garnish, but you can have fun, too. If you think ahead and have an ice tray that makes 1-inch diameter spheres, make some with blueberries in them. Then it becomes an Eyebiscus Cocktail when you drop one or two in each drink (plus, then there’s a tasty fruit treat at the end). You could also cut strawberries on an angle and use a cocktail pick to make hearts out of their halves, then put those atop the drink rim.
