Tropical Vibes

Ingredients

2oz Guava Juice

1/2oz Fresh Lime Juice 

1/2oz Oleo Saccharum 

3 Drops Pineapple Star Anise Bitters from Ms. Betters Bitter’s

3/4oz Hibiscus Liqueur 

1oz Honeyshine Amber from De Vine

Method

Add all ingredients into a tall glass or tiki glass and stir to combine, top off with crushed ice. Garnish with a reusable straw and paper umbrella or a lime wedge and hibiscus flower.

Hibiscus Liqueur

This homemade hibiscus liqueur is very easy to make and only takes a few days to rest! It is an absolute must-have for my bar because not only does it have a beautiful rich colour it also adds a tart and floral note to any cocktail.

Ingredients

375ml Bottle of Vodka (use personal preference here)

1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers

1/2cup white sugar

Method

Add all ingredients to an airtight container and give a stir to ensure everything is incorporated. Shake 2-4 times a day for 3 days or until all the sugar is dissolved and the desired colour and flavour has been reached. I tend to taste it after 2 days and then make my decision. Once the desired flavour and colour has been reached strain out the hibiscus flowers ensuing to squeeze all the vodka out of them, then pour the hibiscus liqueur into a glass bottle. I just reuse the bottle the vodka came out of.
