Rejuvenate Your Cocktail Menu with Hibiscus

Hibiscus is the flavour of 2022 and with the biggest party season of the year just around the corner, now is the time to rejuvenate your cocktail menu offerings. Want to entice customers at cocktail hour? With its vivid red-pink colour, hibiscus looks beautiful. If you want to make your cocktails Insta ready, then this is the perfect opportunity. It tastes delicious too and offers a number of health benefits to feel good about.

Sometimes it pays to be creative and try something new. With hibiscus, you can experiment with both the flavour and the appearance of the drink itself. It also makes for a great garnish. Whether you want to add a floral twist to a classic or reinvent the wheel with an entirely new creation, with hibiscus there are plenty of possibilities.

Let’s take a look at some ideas to get you started…

Add a floral twist to the classics

From tequila sunrise and gin-based cocktails to the old-fashioned, hibiscus tea can be infused and added to a range of classic drinks. Happy experimenting!

Try a new cocktail creation

If you’re looking to completely reinvent the wheel, this will take a little more trial and error. However, once you get a feel for the ingredients that blend well with the flavour of hibiscus, you can make great pairings that could become modern classics.

Zero or low alcohol

A cool iced hibiscus tea is a firm favourite on the Starbucks menu as well as in bars around the world. Add some creative fruity, floral or leaf-based garnishes to finish, serve in a tall glass and you’re good to go! With its sharp, tart flavour it’s perfectly paired with grenadine syrup.

Don’t forget the garnish

With its bright red petals, this flower also makes a great garnish and finishing touch to a truly spectacular menu.
