Anyway, I've constantly cherished hibiscus tea… be that as it may, I have never really observed a new hibiscus blossom. Have you folks? They are potentially perhaps the prettiest bloom EVER. I knew immediately that these blossoms should have been transformed into a pretty spring mixed drink for Cocktail Saturday. What's more, you all, I couldn't be more joyful with how this beverage turned out. It's SO acceptable and too fun as well!
The base layer is a blend of mint, lime, mango juice (pineapple or enthusiasm natural product juice would be extraordinary here as well!), coconut water, and rum. At that point, that top red layer… that is the hibiscus tea. You certainly need to twirl the tea all through the beverage, yet it's fun watching it gradually slide down into the mango blend. The entirety of the flavors together make the most tropical creation. They thoroughly make me need to hightail it to Florida for spring break… anybody with me? I wish that was going on, however as I stay here in Colorado longing for hotter days, pools and palm trees, in any event I'll be tasting on a tropical hibiscus crush.
