Hibiscus Purée

Method

Hibiscus Purée Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Hibiscus Purée

    In a medium saucepan, combine the dried hibiscus flowers and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Once the flowers are softened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Strain and Blend

    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids. Blend the liquid until smooth to create a purée. Set aside to cool completely.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 3

    Muddle Basil

    In a large cocktail shaker, add the fresh basil leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the basil leaves to release their aromatic oils.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooled hibiscus purée, orange juice, lime juice, vodka, coconut rum, and lemonade into the shaker with the muddled basil. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

  3. 5

    Shake Well

    Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice and top with Sprite. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish with a sprig of basil on top, and serve immediately.
